They are unable to meet the high costs of the services that a child with special needs requires. They lack therapies, basic education, medical supplies and social services. These children are at a risk of stigmatization, neglect and abandonment by their families. They are denied their right to basic needs

The project will offer life changing resources like medical assistance, assistive devices, therapies and nutritious meals. It will also provide specialized education and access to critical social amenities-ensuring that children, especially those from vulnerable homes like single mothers and low income families have a chance to an independent life.

Long-Term Impact

The project will sponsor critical needs for 50 children with developmental disabilities helping them access basic education which is their right.
