Give your idea a short title:

  • +{"en"=>"Establishing Programs To Help People with Special Needs In Our Neighborhood, that have No Family Support"}

Body

  • +["

    What problem would you like to solve?

    [Assisting people with special needs with no family support in our community.

    Why is it important to solve? Why is it relevant for the community?

    [People without family with special needs feel alone and isolated. They are often left to fend for themselves and cannot do so. It will give the community a sense of pride and teach them compassion towards their fellow human being. A program will provide people with these special needs a sense of empowerment ]

    What idea do you have to address the problem?

    [Develop a daily program for special needs individuals to learn skills and socialize with others. It will facilitate their ability to navigate everyday living challenges if they attend a structured program.]

    Who would that help?

    [The individuals attending the program and the staff from the neighborhood would give them employment. ]

    What neighborhood would benefit from your idea?

    [Highbridge]
