To be disabled is a misfortune, to be disabled and poor is a tragedy.

Disabled people have practically no option within the social system, and for them it is of prime importance that they remain integrated within their family and community.

To ensure this our programme aims at making children with disabilities as independent as possible, and to ensure some income generation for each one of them, hence assuring that they retain a roof on their heads, even after the demise of their parents.
Children are taught self-care and basic living skills such as bathing, washing clothes, basic cooking,shopping to the best of their ability.

But above all the day care centre is a fun filled place where all children are taught computers, dance and many other recreational activities.

Howvever we are aware of the reality on the ground and the fact that for some the future remains bleaks. What better example than our very own Manu. We realised that for some of the children that had come our way, we needed to think of a life time options. This is where the idea of planet why began.
At present wehave a small inclusive living option that goes by the name of fosercare and where Manu and Champa live with four small kids in an enabling environment. At a later stage, planet why will be able to provide shelter and dignity to upto 1w persons with special needs for more click here
