Welcome to Inclusion unfolds!
In this blog we will be shedding light on Prakhyata Abhinand Charitable Trust (PACT), India, one of our partners. They work for rehabilitation of Children with Disabilities(CWD) Who are Orphaned, abandoned and surrendered.
Introduction:
PACT is a dedicated children's disability organization and NGO. They focus on serving the unique needs of orphaned, abandoned, and surrendered children with disabilities (OAS CwD) who reside in Child Care Institutions (CCIs),Specialized Adoption Agencies (SAAs) & institutions those shelter underprivileged CwDs. They work in Karnataka
CCI’s are meant to be a last resort for abandoned children, providing safety and shelter. However, they are "least desirable for long term," especially for children with disabilities due to their heightened sensitivities and specific requirements. Without access to proper care, many OAS children, including CwD, can face severe challenges including neglect.
CwD, with their limited capabilities and unaddressed needs, are at risk of prolonged depression, anxiety, and worsening disabilities. Tragically, this can lead to them becoming marginalized.
Every child deserves the right to grow up in a loving and caring family, to be nurtured into a capable individual. Often, the unique abilities of CwDs go unnoticed and undeveloped within CCIs. As a result, they miss out on the crucial opportunity for adoption. This represents a significant loss of potential talent and skills, not just for the children themselves, but for our country and humankind as a whole.
Prospective parents also face concerns, fearing the possibility of lifelong dependence, the lack of adequate facilities and infrastructure to support their child's growth, high treatment costs, and societal peer pressure.
PACT INDIA currently focus to facilitate an inclusive ecosystem for these CwDs by aiding rehabilitation care and improving the existing services by skilling their caregivers within CCI’s.
They work with over 200+ CwDs across Karnataka, ranging from 0-18 years.
They have trained over 50+ empathetic caregivers to deliver inclusive care.
