| Special School For the Mentally Retarded |
It is a cruel world that the mentally challenged children are left to cope with and it is their misfortune to hear several derogatory comments from the rest of the society. Ma'din is well aware of this sad state of affairs. And from this realization it has come forward to take up the cause of these marginalized lots without leaving them to the cruelties of fate.
Unfortunately, Ma'din special school doesn't have facilities to accommodate all the students that seek admission each year. The present school is functioning in a rented building. But, even amidst of these limitations, Ma'din is involved in the great task of bringing smiles to these innocent faces. In other words, Ma'din is not simply ready to leave them to the negligence of the society.
No fee of any kind is levied from the student and the entire expenses is borne by the institution. Besides these, the school helps the parents to secure scholarship and educational grants to these students from outside.
