Open the world for a child with a disability
Providing assistance through local partners
The Liliane Foundation’s key objective is to ensure that children with disabilities in developing countries take a full and active part in everyday life, joining in family and community activities. In order to achieve this, our local partners play a crucial role.
We welcome our partners to this platform. We invite them to use it as a source of information and as an opportunity to share knowledge and exchange ideas. Together, we open the world.

Shera's kitchen classroom
Shera is a mediator’s co-worker in the Philippines. She works near the dumpsite of San Pedro, Laguna. After studying to be a nurse, Shera became a teacher for children with mental disabilities. Most of their parents are scavengers and workers at the Southside dumpsite.
Shera teaches the children how to read, clean, cook and how to take care of themselves. Shera uses a private kitchen as a place to teach her students, because the main school is quite far from the dumpsite.
