Objective The primary aim of the project was to provide vital therapeutic services—including physiotherapy, occupational therapy, and speech therapy—to children with disabilities. These interventions sought to enhance their quality of life, foster greater independence, and encourage their active participation in community life. 3.

Greater Independence: 8 children gained more confidence in daily living activities such as eating, dressing, and toileting. Strengthened Parental Role: Parents received guidance and hands-on strategies to continue supporting their child’s growth at home. 6. Voices from Families "My son is now able to sit by himself and has started trying to speak. We never imagined this progress was possible. We are so thankful." — Parent of a 5-year-old participant "We owe heartfelt thanks to the donors and therapists.

Conclusion The contributions received through GlobalGiving have brought meaningful change to the lives of 10 children and their families. The therapies provided during this project have built a strong foundation for continued growth, independence, and inclusion. We remain dedicated to reaching more children with similar support in the future. 8. Way Forward Extend therapy services to 20 children in the next phase Initiate group-based therapy and play-focused interventions Design structured training resources for parents and caregivers We extend our heartfelt gratitude to GlobalGiving and all the donors for their trust and support in making this initiative a success.
