Educate a poor hearing impaired child

Impact

Revathi did not show signs of speech as a child. Her illiterate parents ignored till she was six. When they finally took her to the Government Hospital, she was confirmed to be hearing impaired. Being daily wage earners with no stable source of income, her parents were devastated and worried about her future. They did not have the means to support her needs. They were then referred to Ashray Akruti and approached the school for admission, where she was enrolled in 2015. With Ashray Akruti taking care of her education and speech therapy, Revathi's parents are grateful for the support. Being physically challenged as well as poor is a double curse, but with a little help the children can be trained to be self reliant.

About The Program

Ashray Akruti provides education to hearing-impaired children in the state of Andhra Pradesh. Beneficiaries are mostly identified through medical camps and referrals from doctors. With a team of qualified staff to cater to their special needs, these students are taught by the oral-aural method which combines speech, use of residual hearing and speech reading. Children are trained to use hearing and develop expressive speech. The regular syllabus is followed in the classrooms along with speech therapy and auditory training. Around 60 children from low-income families who cannot afford the special education stay in the residential home. The residential home provides them with safe accommodation, food, care, and guidance. Donations made to this program support the hearing aid maintenance, staff salaries, rent, and administration cost of the home.When you donate to the program, you will help in educating a poor differently-abled child whose journey you can follow.
