investments that AeA has made for many years through its work directly and with
the partner NGOs in India.

creative and innovative way of addressing holistic education and has been
accomplished through innovative action research project titled ‘Liberate

needs of children with disabilities is yet another strategy that addresses
issues of education access of the excluded communities.
