Navarupantar Home for Special Need Children opened in December 2022. It provides
shelter for underprivileged, orphaned, and semi-orphaned children ages 6-18.
Starting with just 4 children, it now houses 11 and has capacity for 25 total.
Navarupantar meets the children's needs for food, clothing, education, medical care,
and support. With utmost care and empathy, it provides physical, moral, and
psychological assistance to children with disabilities to help them join mainstream
society. Operating under the Juvenile Justice Act, children are referred by the
Child Welfare Committee. Navarupantar aims to be a safe, nurturing home where these
vulnerable youths can thrive.
Navarupantar Home envisions to reach 100 Children with Disabilities by the year
2025.
Our children have limitations that they were born with but they ability rather than disability. They've been further traumatized through rejection and separation from their parents. Our focus is on nurturing and loving them back into wholeness, as best as we can. Whether it be providing an ice-cream or taking them out to a movie, we want them to enjoy life just as other children do! Even though physiotherapy and early sensory training are extremely critical for their development, we never underestimate the role of socializing, which contributes to their psychological and mental wellbeing too. So, we take them out regularly to places of worship, the beach, public parks, and places where they get to meet other children and adults. Under supervision, they are encouraged to play daily at the local playground. Not only is this healthy for their bodies, encouraging them to better mobility, but the social interaction helps them adjust and carry themselves with confidence in public, while the public learn to accept and interact with them. Here's a thought: If you're in or around this area, come on over and meet our children. Play with them, teach them something, laugh with them, get involved.
