Perkins In Jerusalem
Transforming Education in Jerusalem
In Jerusalem, Perkins helps children with vision impairment and multiple disabilities learn and thrive through our partnerships with local government, educators, and families.
the Right to learn
Education matters.
In Jerusalem, as in many places around the world, children with visual impairment and multiple disabilities are among the most disadvantaged and vulnerable to exclusion from quality of education and participation in school life.
In partnership with global and local networks of schools, orphanages, hospitals, universities, and governments, we’re building a system that supports children with multiple disabilities and vision impairment by modeling best practices in education.
