Beyond Boundaries

PROJECT OVERVIEW

Beyond Boundaries project was started by Sangath in 2015 with a vision to make an inclusive model of education accessible to the children in need. Sangath has empowered stakeholders by providing knowledge and skills to create enabling environments and build an inclusive model for children with diverse needs. The children who are at risk of academic failure and early drop out due to academic challenges are the primary focus of this project. The Beyond Boundaries team has successfully laid a systematic process to implement an inclusive model of education in mainstream schools.
