Chand Welfare Foundation

Project on Disabled Children

Chand Welfare Foundation is a nongovernmental organisation working in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa for women and childrens rights. We have worked on different projects like women empowerment, child labour, income generation etc. We have now started working on a project to help disabled children.

PROJECT ON DISABLED CHILDREN
We have started working on our new project on disabled children. We have a few children from Tehkal Bala, Tehkal Payan, Palosi and Safaid Dehri. The children are;

• Mentally disable
• Physically disable

Our main focus is on physically disable children, targeting their basic needs (nutrition and education), but we also hope to provide for the mentally disable children by providing them nutrition for their health and a balanced diet. There are some families that demanded diapers and other accessories needed for their daily routine. We are trying our best to provide them their needs within our resources.

OBJECTIVES
• Providing them nutrition
• Providing them medical facility
• Providing them free education
• Providing them free transport facility
• Providing them all school related facilities (uniform, bags, books and stationary)
• Arranging activities for them to enhance their skills (competitions at school)
• Providing them job opportunities within our organisation
• Taking them on school trips for refreshment and change of environment


HEALTH & NUTRITION
We have so far provided them medical facilities where our doctor has performed a medical check-up on them and advised better nutrition. We also took them to the Police Government Hospital for their check-up. There are some children who urgently need wheel chairs as they have no mobility and we want to urgently arrange it for them.

We will provide them nutritive food according to the Nutritionists prescription. We not only provide them nutritive food for their homes but also for their refreshment during break time at school.

EDUCATION
We are offering them free education and free transport so that they can easily join us. We provide them free school necessities for their education (i.e. books, bags, uniforms and shoes). We make sure they are aware of their rights and give them basic education so that they can move with the world. We have arranged and aim to contiously improve on a relaxing environment for them where they can learn and adjust easily.

We will try to adopt a modern learning methods for them by using multimedia which will be beneficial to them in ways of easily absorbing information via watching related videos.
