FOUNDATION GEORGES CHARLES’ 40TH ANNIVERSARY Cim Finance was honoured to mark the 40th anniversary of Foundation George Charles, an NGO whose mission is to support children with intellectual disabilities and promote their integration into society through education and training. The foundation, which operates as a school for children with special educational needs, is supported by a team of teachers, carers, social workers and psychologists. Beyond its strong academic component, the NGO also places equal emphasis on technical and manual skills to help students achieve their full potential and maximise their chances to join the labour market.
