| Project Name | Provision of Interactive Panel and Classroom Upgradation for the Deaf and Mute, and Artificial Limbs for the Disabled at Silvassa, Dadra & Nagar Haveli | ||||||||||||
| Amount Utilized (INR) | 600000 | ||||||||||||
| Project Description | The project Empowering Lives Through Inclusion and Accessibility was a heartfelt effort to restore dignity, mobility, and learning opportunities for some of the most underserved individuals in Silvassa, Dadra and Nagar Haveli. With the support of International Packaging Products Pvt. Ltd., Janvikas Samajik Sanstha reached out to two groups who often remain unseen—adults struggling with the loss of mobility and children striving to learn without the ability to hear or speak. On one hand, eight physically disabled individuals were provided with custom-made artificial limbs, helping them take confident steps once again, move independently, and reclaim their sense of self-reliance. On the other hand, at the Red Cross School for Deaf and Mute Children, an interactive digital learning panel was installed and a classroom was fully refurbished, transforming the space into a vibrant, inclusive, and engaging environment. Teachers were also trained to use the new technology, ensuring that children could experience lessons through visual, tactile, and digital methods designed especially for their needs. This dual intervention, bridging both mobility and education, has not only uplifted individuals but also inspired hope across the wider community. | ||||||||||||

| Beneficiary Description | The project benefitted two distinct groups: individuals with physical disabilities and children with special needs at the Red Cross School in Silvassa. Under the mobility component, eight individuals (six males and two females) between the ages of 18 to 55 years received customized artificial limbs. All of them came from low-income families and had been struggling with limited movement, dependence on others, and reduced livelihood opportunities. The provision of prosthetics has helped them regain independence, confidence, and dignity in their daily lives. At the institutional level, the Red Cross School for Special Children, which caters to 333 students (214 boys and 119 girls), benefitted from the educational support provided through this project. The school comprises children with a range of disabilities—72 hearing impaired, 259 intellectually disabled, and 2 physically handicapped. All children are the direct users of the interactive digital learning panel, while the refurbished classroom has created a brighter, more engaging space that positively impacts the entire student body of 333 children. In addition, the school’s teachers have also benefitted from orientation sessions, enhancing their ability to deliver effective, inclusive lessons. | ||||||||||||

| Project Name | Upgradation of residential facility for the visually challenged children | ||||||
| Amount Utilized (INR) | 500300 | ||||||
| Project Description | Janvikas Samajik Sanstha supported the renovation of a school-cum-residential facility for visually challenged children in Naroli village, Dadra & Nagar Haveli. The facility serves as a safe haven for 17 children (10 boys and 7 girls) from tribal and economically disadvantaged families, providing lodging, boarding, and basic education, as their families cannot offer adequate care. The facility had significantly deteriorated, with peeling plaster, worn-out flooring, poor ventilation, and cramped spaces, creating an unsuitable living and learning environment. To address these challenges, Janvikas initiated a comprehensive renovation project. This involved removing old plaster, flooring, roofing, and outdated bathroom facilities, replacing the cement roofs with new CGI roofs, applying fresh plaster, and expanding windows for better ventilation. Internal walls were adjusted to create more spacious and comfortable living areas for the children. The goal of this renovation is to provide a conducive environment where visually challenged children can thrive both in living and learning. | ||||||

| Beneficiary Description | The beneficiaries of the renovated school-cum-residential facility are 17 children, aged between 6 and 15 years, who come from tribal and economically disadvantaged families in Naroli village, Dadra & Nagar Haveli. These children are visually challenged and some with other disabilities as well. Of the 17 beneficiaries, 10 are boys and 7 are girls. Coming from low-income, tribal backgrounds, their families are often unable to provide adequate care or educational support due to economic hardships. The facility offers them a vital space for lodging, boarding, and education, ensuring they receive the necessary care and opportunities for growth. In addition to addressing their educational needs, the facility supports the children's physical, emotional, and social development, creating a nurturing and inclusive environment for them to thrive. | ||||||
