In Bangladesh, children and young adults with autism now have better education and training opportunities as a result of a co-operative development project between autism organisations in Finland and Bangladesh.
In 2013, the Prerona Project (meaning ’the inspiration project’) took place. The Prerona project was a development initiative between the Finnish Association for Autism and Asperger’s Syndrome (FAAAS) and the Society for the Welfare of Autistic Children (SWAC) in Bangladesh.
