Are you the owner of Sankalp, Centre for Children with Disabilities?
Nestled in the heart of Vadodara, Sankalp, Centre for Children with Disabilities, is more than just a facility—it's a beacon of hope and transformation for physically and intellectually challenged children, primarily from underprivileged communities. This "for purpose" non-profit organization dedicates itself to integrating these children into mainstream society by enhancing their abilities and skills, offering them a chance to live independent and fulfilling lives.
With statistics revealing that 7.62% of India's population comprises disabled children, and a significant number of them in Gujarat, Sankalp recognizes the urgent need for support. Myths, misconceptions, and poverty often isolate and marginalize these children, sometimes even within their own families. Sankalp bridges the gap, providing a nurturing environment with professional rehabilitation support to help these children overcome severe disabilities.
What sets Sankalp apart is its scientific and structured approach to rehabilitation. Each child undergoes a thorough assessment by a clinical psychologist to determine the type and level of disabilities. Following this, a team of qualified special educators, behavior therapists, speech therapists, physiotherapists, and a dietician collaborate to create a personalized plan. This holistic plan focuses on the child's strengths, weaknesses, interests, and abilities, striving to help each child achieve their full potential.
Sankalp operates on the generosity of individual and corporate donors, providing services entirely free of charge to nearly 90% of the children under its care. Regular activities such as painting, crafting, and brain development games keep the children engaged and stimulated. Additionally, the organization continuously seeks support for essential needs like new school vans and stationery to further its mission of inclusivity and empowerment.
For those who wish to contribute beyond donations, Sankalp offers a vibrant volunteer program. Joining the Sankalp family means playing an active role in driving change and development, working directly with children, and being part of a community that values and nurtures every child. Together, with dedicated volunteers and supporters, Sankalp continues to make a significant impact, one child at a time.
