“Light Up Lives”

A Performance Platform for Differently-abled children

An initiative of Concern India Foundation

Concern India Foundation, is a not for profit charitable trust set up in 1991 working towards Education, Community Development and Health. We are a support organization and are presently supporting over 360 grass root NGO’s through our branches in Mumbai, Delhi, Bangalore, Kolkata, Chennai, Hyderabad and Pune.

It is an endeavor to have an inclusive approach for children and part of our focus involves working for children who are differently-abled. The organisation believes that equitable opportunities and access to services can help in overcoming the barriers created by the physical and mental disability and the interventions help in converging focus on their strengths, paving way to live life to the fullest.

Our annual beneficiary initiative “Light up Lives” (earlier known as Roshni) is a talent based initiative for children with special needs to provide them an opportunity that otherwise might not be available. These differently abled children are given a platform to showcase their talents in music & dance along with showing their artistic talent. It is for sure a rewarding experience for their parents and teachers. This initiative envisions empowering children with special needs and helping build their confidence by recognizing their talents.

Various NGOs from across the city that work with visually impaired and differently-abled children participate in this program. It is planned according to each child’s needs and abilities. Children and youth from various NGOs are invited and the competition is judged by a panel of experts
