Tanushree, aged six, lives with her family in a small village in West Bengal. Initially, her family were unaware of our partner organisation, NISHTHA. It was through a caring neighbour that her family learned about us and realised we could provide the essential support Tanushree needed for her condition. Before joining NISHTHA, accessing regular medical care was a struggle for her family.
When Tanushree first came to us, she was diagnosed with cerebral palsy. We developed a tailored treatment plan that included physiotherapy, speech therapy, and specialised education, all designed to meet her unique needs.
Transporting Tanushree to our centre every day was initially difficult due to the family's reservations. However, through various discussions, her family began to understand the importance of regular attendance and committed to ensuring she could benefit from our services consistently.
At the start of her journey, Tanushree struggled to move independently, had difficulty gripping objects, rarely smiled in response to social cues and had limited communication.
Today, the progress Tanushree has made is nothing short of remarkable. She has increased mobility, grips objects confidently, plays with other children, shows improved hand function, responds to her name, communicates with others, walks with support and can express a range of emotions, to name but a few examples!
Tanushree can lead a more joyful and connected life thanks to the community support of our project. The holistic approach of our partner organisation, combined with the unwavering support of her family, has been key to Tanushree's transformation.
Thanks to you, we can support so many more children with disabilities like Tanushree.
Thank you.
