Education is the cornerstone of empowerment, yet many street-connected children, children with disabilities, and marginalized youth in Bangladesh face barriers to learning. LEEDO’s Inclusive School Program ensures that every child, regardless of background or ability, has access to quality education in a safe and supportive environment.

By combining informal curriculum, life skills training, and psychosocial support, the Inclusive School equips children with the knowledge, confidence, and resilience they need to align academically and socially. The program embodies LEEDO’s commitment to equity, inclusion, and the right to learn.
