Context
Created on June 17, 2003, the Sembana Mijoro Center (CSM) works for the educational and vocational integration of children and young people with disabilities. Among the activities of the center are: school sponsorship, placement in companies, setting up a sewing workshop, vocational training (computer, pastry, sewing), the management of a specialized school which welcomes children and youth with cerebral palsy and / or less severe intellectual disability. In total about 200 disabled people have improved their living conditions, thanks to the services offered by the center.
The CSM operates mainly through one-off donations. In the absence of regular revenues, fundraising is a big part of the energy of the management team.
