The purpose of this program
is to improve the conditions of children and adults living
with disability in 30 rural villages of Manikandam block of
Tiruchirappalli district. Differently-abled people in India
are live in harsh conditions, frequently abandoned, stigmatized,
rejected or subjected to violence and exclusion. Through this
program Care and Share identifies the differently-abled children
and adults and provides them quality services, helping them
to obtain identity cards from the concerned departments to
get assistance from the government, put the children to school,
provide them with the skills needed to manage their day-to-day
activities by themselves and physiotherapy if needed.
We have currently 35 disabled children enrolled
in this program. We want to change the attitude of the parents
and the society on the disability and ensure every child has
access to school, assistance from the government, physiotherapy
and help and support to overcome the hardships faced by these
kids. |
