In order to provide more support to children who have various problems and cannot fit into the existing school system, they encourage the service users to attend Smile Factory and receive educational counselling, as well as to promote social independence of the service users (students) through the guidance at Smile Factory. The Smile Factory is a free school that accepts students of all ages, from elementary school to high school (only elementary school to junior high school for this SIB project). Toy Box operates Smile Factory and provides educational counselling to children and their parents with various special needs such as withdrawal, LD (learning disabilities), ADHD (attention deficit disorder), and developmental disabilities. In general, free schools offer group classes, but Smile Factory also offers individual classes for children who are not comfortable in group classes.

INDIGO data are shared for research and policy analysis purposes. INDIGO data can be used to support a range of insights, for example, to understand the social outcomes that projects aim to improve, the network of organisations across projects, trends, scales, timelines and summary information. The collaborative system by which we collect, process, and share data is designed to advance data-sharing norms, harmonise data definitions and improve data use. These data are NOT shared for auditing, investment, or legal purposes. Please independently verify any data that you might use in decision making. We provide no guarantees or assurances as to the quality of these data. Data may be inaccurate, incomplete, inconsistent, and/or not current for various reasons: INDIGO is a collaborative and iterative initiative that mostly relies on projects all over the world volunteering to share their data. We have a system for processing information and try to attribute data to named sources, but we do not audit, cross-check, or verify all information provided to us. It takes time and resources to share data, which may not have been included in a project’s budget. Many of the projects are ongoing and timely updates may not be available. Different people may have different interpretations of data items and definitions. Even when data are high quality, interpretation or generalisation to different contexts may not be possible and/or requires additional information and/or expertise. Help us improve our data quality: email us at indigo@bsg.ox.ac.uk if you have data on new projects, changes or performance updates on current projects, clarifications or corrections on our data, and/or confidentiality or sensitivity notices. Please also give input via the INDIGO Data Definitions Improvement Tool and INDIGO Feedback Questionnaire.
