Specialised school planned for victims

Rana Plaza victims, who lost their limbs and were disabled, are going to get a specialised school in Savar.

According to a press release of GIZ, an international enterprise owned by the German Federal Government, GIZ, CRP and BGMEA signed a MoU on Wednesday to establish an orthotics and prosthetics school to support the people with disabilities, especially those affected by the Rana Plaza building collapse.

The three organisations will work together to build the infrastructure of the school and to develop the curriculum for the students.

The school will have a training lab and library facilities, student exchange programme, and consultation programme, said the press release.

German Ambassador Albrecht Conze, GIZ Country Director Olaf Handloegten, CRP Founder Valerie Taylor and BGMEA President Md Atiqul Islam were present at the signing ceremony.
