Education For All

RYTHM Foundation is an advocate for an inclusive educational environment that allows children of all abilities, equal access to quality education. Taarana was established in Malaysia in 2011 when the Foundation identified a dire need for resources and support for children with special learning needs, and their families. Through our work with Taarana, we hope not just to raise awareness about the importance of special needs education, but also help change attitudes and practices associated with special children. RYTHM Foundation is proud to contribute to UN SDG 4 that strives to provide every child with equal access and opportunity to knowledge and learning to unlock their potential.
