The Japan government launched a project to provide a school bus for the intellectually challenged students of Fukuoka School in Lahore to ensure their safe transportation to and from the education facility.

Japan under its Grant Assistance for Grassroots Human Security Projects (GGP) Programme had provided financial assistance of US$80,236 to Lahore Association Pakistan, a non-governmental organisation, for implementing this project, a press release said.

Chargé d’Affaires at Embassy of Japan in Pakistan Yusuke Shindo in a ceremony handed over the keys of school bus to the management of Lahore Association Pakistan and also exchanged views with the special students and staff of the Fukuoka School.

Bus service for differently abled students suspended

Japan had extended this financial assistance in year 2016 for the provision of transportation facility in Fufuoka School where 50 intellectually challenged students receive special education, speech therapy and life skills training.

Earlier, a small van at the school could hardly accommodate only 25 students of the school for their pick and drop.
