Welcome

In response to the lack of a special needs centre in Fujairah that is accessible to individuals of all nationalities and ages, the idea for Rising Sun was born.

Our vision was to create a welcoming and inclusive space that offers a combination of therapies and academic support for those living with conditions or disorders that can make everyday life and social inclusion more challenging. At Rising Sun, we’re here to provide the guidance, care, and opportunities every individual deserves to thrive and shine in their own unique way.

Welcome to the Rising Sun

At the Rising Sun, our dedicated team of therapists, teachers, and support staff work together to provide a safe, supportive space for children and young adults with special needs. We support individuals with a wide range of challenges through creative, holistic approaches that nurture both body and mind.

We would be delighted to welcome you to the centre, show you around our facilities, and share more about the work we do and how we can make a meaningful difference. Please don’t hesitate to get in touch with us to arrange a visit – we’d love to hear from you.
