Thuso Centre for Multiple Disabilities
Established in March 1985, Thuso E Tla Tsoakae Community Handicapped School is the only special needs school in Lesotho that caters for multiple disabilities. There are 43 children at the Centre; 36 who are boarding and seven local children. The children are profoundly disabled and the current facilities and support at Thuso do not match their needs.
The school is now under the responsibility of the Ministry of Education, and Sentebale is working alongside them funding developments that will make the Thuso Centre a place of excellence for assessment and training in multiple disabilities.
Sentebale has appointed a local architect who is leading the developments of the site following preliminary work by Architect's for Aid.
Other specialist NGOs including Dolen Cymru and Leonard Cheshire will be working with Sentebale to develop the Thuso Centre through their interest and expertise in children with Special Needs.
