Program Description

Disadvantaged children’s centre was established in late 2014 due to an initiative made byparents with disadvantaged children. At the moment, there are around 60 to 80 childrenattending this centre to obtain life skills and get trained to lead a normal lifestyle. Thus, startingfrom the Founders of the organization, everyone involved in this initiative share the same visionof providing a quality life for these children. Particularly, by teaching, providing therapy andmaking the children involved in various other activities, they attempt to train these children tolive a normal life as much as possible.

Even though this organization requires the support of trained persons, only the parents ofthese children have supported the organization voluntarily. Therefore, getting an additionalsupport is much required for the smooth functioning of the organization. Particularly if youhave any qualifications on special education and therapy, it would be an added advantage totake part in this project.
