Cup of Milk and Millets Snacks for Mentally Challenged Children

Mentally Challenged Children   face many barriers to have good health. Other than the special education and therapy services offered at our special school, it is important to provide healthy drinks, and nutritious millet snacks, for our 135 special children

These children have limited means and come from disadvantaged backgrounds, which can lead to a certain level of malnourishment. It is essential to ensure that the school is fully-equipped to provide nutritious healthy drinks, and nutritious millet snacks on a daily basis.

●        Having poorer overall health.

●        Having less access to adequate health care.

●        Unable to have healthy diets.

Mentally Challenged Children   often are more susceptible to preventable health problems that decrease their overall health and quality of life. Secondary conditions such as pain, fatigue, obesity, and depression can occur as a result of having a disabling condition.

We plan to provide pure milk and Organic millets/snacks one time in a day, to ensure 135 children studying at our residential school live healthily. Any donations received will fund this programme and help to maintain our ethos.

All of the children enrolled at our special school belong to economically weaker sections of society and many come from tribal or scheduled caste communities. Only when children have a healthy mind and body will they be able to focus on their education.

This project will enable us to provide healthy pure milk and nutritious snacks to around 135 children presently studying at our special schools in Dindigul and Theni districts of Tamilnadu.

With a donation of Rs. 6000, you can sponsor a bright young Mentally Challenged student to ensure they receive a month of healthy meals.
