Serving 85 students with learning difficulties and special needs, Themarona Special Needs School focused on developing life skills in financial management and emotional regulation to build confidence and independence among students aged 5 to 15. By adapting the Aflatoun International Program and using active learning methods, the school empowered students to understand their rights, responsibilities, and business models, while also equipping 20 teachers with digital learning tools to sustain the program’s impact. This ultimately reinforced nafda’s core values of social justice and active citizenship.
