WHY WE EXIST
Every child, regardless of their physical condition, deserves a chance to learn, grow, and fulfill their God-given purpose. Sadly, many deaf, dumb, or blind individuals in our communities remain uneducated, stigmatized, and underserved.
.
The DIOCESAN SPECIAL EDUCATION CENTRE was born out of a calling—to give voice to the voiceless, light to the blind, and hope to the forgotten.
.
