HARIKSHA
HOME for Adult Mentally Retarded Women
(Funded by State Commissioner for the Differently Abled Welfare, Tamilnadu)
The new initiative of Hariksha People’s Welfare Trust is the Home for the Mentally
Retarded above the age of 14 years for the Girls to provide vocational training with
residential facilities with sanctioned strength of 40 girls from Villupuram District.
We applied for the Government Scheme of the Homes for the Mentally Retarded
Girls above the age of 14 years. The State Commissioner for the Differently Abled
Welfare Department considered our application and sanctioned the scheme to our
organization to serve the Villupuram District.
The Government of Tamil Nadu is empowering and providing equal opportunities
and participation for the person with disability. It assure livelihood security, equality
& full participation in community life and more independence, autonomous life skills
and comprehensive medical services, vocational trainings to make the disabled
person valuable and a part of this society. The Government also provides an
opportunity to the NGOs to work as a joint venture with Government for the disable
rehabilitation, to take suitable measures to provide equal opportunities, ensure full
participation and protect the rights of the disabled people.
Through our working experience and field visit we found that the adult girls above the
age of 14 years are the major victims of abuses (physical & sexual). Most of them
are neglected, many of the parent relatives don’t have facilities to treat or train them
properly.
As soon as we got the information letter from the Government to start the Home for
the Mentally Retarded Girls, we met the District Differently Abled Welfare Officer
(DDAWO), Villupuram. As per the guidance of the Government and DDAWO,
Villupuram we searched a suitable house. The proposed location for the home is
Gingee, so we went around the village to find the house. As we are planning to start
the home for the special need children, many of the house owners are not willing to
offer their house for this purpose. Finally we found a house No. 4, 3rd Cross Street,
Kalki Nagar, Tindivanam Road, Gingee, Villupuam District, Pin–604202
With the available resources we started to establish the needed infrastructure for the
home for the special need. We established the kitchen, the mat, pillows, pillow
covers, the basic furniture and we are trying to find out the appropriate staff
candidates.
Apart from this we have to ensure the minimum standards and facilities to the
residents of the home. A few examples are that we have to ensure the safe drinking
water (purifying system), a washing machine to wash the clothes of the special need
girls. The house has to protect with mosquito net for protection the residents from
mosquito and flies. To keep the house clean and hygene special arrangements and
equipment for cleaning.
The kitchen has to equip with the Gas stove, Wet Grinders, Mixer Grinder,
Refrigerator and many other equipment.
As this is the residence of the special need girls we have to arrange the
entertainment activities such as television, audio player, indoor and outdoor games,
etc.,
In this way many other needs are there to establish in this home, the Government is
firm on its budget that it will support only the basic facilities and running cost of the
home, this amount will be available after we spent the money (minimum 1 year). So
to initiate the progress and process of the home we are in need of the generous kind
philanthropist support. As your concern is already supporting our organization and
you are well known about the quality of service of Hariksha and its approaches we
are requesting to explore the possibilities to take part in the initiative expenses and
progress of the establishment of the Home for the Mentally Retarded Girls.
We are sure that you (the BOARD) will be happy “One of the best feelings in the
world is knowing that someone is happy because of YOU”
We request he Trustees and Board Members to extend your support and helping
hand for the new initiative of Hariksha Peoples Welfare Trust. This home will serve
the real needy underprivileged mentally retarded girls to be in safe and become
social responsible by train them with vocational training.
