Appeal

The Manav Rehabilitation Centre is a non-residential therapeutic facility that operates on a day-care basis. The centre uses Individual Casework and Group Therapy to facilitate rehabilitation. These services form our line of treatment, which works parallel to clinical treatment (i.e. medications).
As statistics show, about 21% of households with out-of-pocket expenditure due to a member with Mental Illness fall below the poverty line.
As part of our vision to “Widen the horizons of Mental Health to ensure its recognition, importance and acceptance as a necessary component of society”, MANAV Foundation is proud to announce the Client Welfare Programme aimed at alleviating the financial burden on our beneficiaries by covering essential expenses like therapeutic fees, lunch, medication, and travel. Our beneficiaries are adults living with severe Mental Illnesses and come from the full spectrum of socio-economic backgrounds.
Today, the MANAV Foundation covers the entire therapeutic cost, lunch cost, medication and travel expenses of 4 clients plus the partial cost of 3 clients. All funds generated from the Tata Mumbai Marathon will go towards ensuring these clients continue to receive rehabilitation services that can sustain effective management of their mental illness and create possibility of reintegration into mainstream society in the future.

Fund Utilization in 2024

Total funds raised in 2024 - INR 314303
Project NameMANAV Transitional Rehabilitation
Amount Utilized (INR)314303
Project DescriptionMANAV Foundation utilized the funds to strengthen, update and increase the digital and in-person infrastructure to enable improved group therapy sessions for our clients living with severe mental illness. New laptops, higher speed Wi-Fi plans, router extenders and increased cloud storage were purchased to ensure uninterrupted Zoom sessions for clients joining remotely, and also allowed clients to view recorded session files at their convenience in case anything was missed. Further, the MANAV Foundation utilized these funds to begin new Resource Facilitated sessions for our clients. For example, Yoga and Music Therapy require expertise that our in-house facilitators do not have. Thus, external resource facilitators come in on a per session basis and conduct these interventions for the clients of the MANAV Foundation. Yoga modulates the stress response systems by directly affecting the perceived stress, anxiety and helps those with limited cognitive abilities to increase their capacity for attention. Music is accepted as a universal means to express one's emotions and Music Therapy helps individuals connect with their feelings, express their thoughts, reconnect with their past, and overcome isolation. Given these immense benefits, using the funds to continually sustain these interventions has been very vital for the recovery of our clients.

Fund Utilization in 2023

Total funds raised in 2023 - INR 200902
Project NameTransitional Rehabilitation Programme
Amount Utilized (INR)200000
Project DescriptionMANAV Foundation currently runs a Transitional Rehabilitation Programme which provides partial in-person and digital services to our beneficiaries. The current premises function primarily as an office space and provides limited space for all our verticals. Facilitating in-person rehabilitation services and other services is restricted due to the shortage of space. However, we envision that we will transition to an all-inclusive premise that provides rehabilitation services along with all other interventions and services, as we have done since 2005.
Having experienced a significant broadening of our reach via the digital platform during the pandemic months, we plan to incorporate digital rehabilitation services into an inclusive model which will provide both digital and in-person rehabilitation services, known as the Hybrid Rehabilitation Programme.
To maintain and carry forward the Hybrid Rehabilitation Programme, our need is a stable income required to cover the expenses incurred for running our operations and services for our beneficiaries. While finding a stable premise and maintaining it consumes most of the funding we receive and has been one of our biggest challenges, service delivery is of paramount importance to us.
