Balajothi Centre for the Disabled is a registered charitable trust, founded in the year 2004.  It is not a religious trust. Its doors are open to  intellectually challenged children from disadvantaged families, irrespective of religion, caste, creed or community. Parents are encouraged to participate in our programs through songs and prayers of their respective religions.

Children with special needs face difficulty communicating and interacting with others. They also find it very difficult to grasp concepts like numbers and alphabets using conventional class room techniques.

This project is designed to equip our children and care-givers with electronic teaching aids such as toys with audio-visual capabilities, lego blocks and tablets. Our experience has shown that these teaching aids completely transformed the way children learn and interact. For example, they feel really comfortable with tablets and explore different apps by themselves. They also internalize concepts taught using these aids much more easily. The project has benefited all of 25 children we train at our facility. In the long run, it will develop vocational skills such as typing and data entry that can help these children find jobs. It will also benefit our care givers.

During this difficult period of Corona pandemic working with children using these equipment has been a great blessing with no stress and willing and whole hearted  participation by all, children and caregivers alike.

My humble request to YOU DONOR is to keep supporting these special children with regular giving.  I THANK YOU DONOR FOR YOUR SACRIFICIAL GIVING of $562 to date, particularly during this stressful period the entire human race is going through.  May God bless and keep you and your dear ones safe.

Balajothi thanks GlobalGiving for giving us the opportunity to support and help the needy disabled children from underprivileged families.  THANK YOU.
