The only school dedicated to children with special needs in Somalia’s capital is at risk of closing. The Mustaqbal Centre for Special Needs provides free education to more than 140 children, 70% of whom have been diagnosed with autism. Government funding covers only part of its costs and private donations have fallen sharply amid rising prices and energy costs. Al Jazeera’s Nicolas Haque reports. Subscribe to our channel: bit.ly
