Support Our Work
Support Specialised Medication
We are working toward establishing a Specialised Medical Centre for children with Down syndrome and autism — a safe, structured, child-friendly environment where every child can access quality medical care and treatment in a timely manner.
Support Better Education
All children with Down syndrome experience significant learning difficulties that impact their development from birth. NELFAM is dedicated to understanding these challenges and providing the best support at home and at school.
This work depends on the generosity of families and friends like you.
