every Child's Right to Learn
Learning belongs to every child—without exception.
At Child Guardians, we believe that every child deserves access to quality education—especially the most vulnerable. That’s why we prioritise supporting children with disabilities and learning difficulties, ensuring they have equitable learning opportunities in environments that respect their unique needs and potential.

The Transformative Journey of Aziz” offers a glimpse into how inclusion changes lives.
Our journey began in 2013 in Eastern Ghouta, a besieged and war-torn area in Syria, where we launched a groundbreaking initiative to educate children with disabilities. We established and equipped the first resource room for one-on-one education, with tailored plans and clear developmental goals for each child.
As the children progressed, so did our work. We expanded to integrate inclusive practices into formal education systems—modifying school facilities, training educators, raising awareness among parents and peers, and building an ecosystem that embraces every learner.
Centres
Child Guardians established 17 new special education centres in 2024 alone
Inclusive Eduation
Continued Impact
Since our start, Child Guardians has remained at the forefront of inclusive education across Syria. We continue to raise awareness, improve access, and provide essential services for children with autism spectrum disorder, Down syndrome, ADHD, and other conditions.
In 2024 alone, we supported the establishment and equipment of 17 new special education centres, further expanding our reach to children previously excluded from school systems.
