“Disabled children in Manvi
Taluka miss out due to lack of support services…”
On 27th April 2018, Vimukti with the collaboration of Ensemble
Agissons, France, under “HEALTH FOR ALL” project involving more than
16 staff actively participated and identified differently abled
children in 16 villages of our working area. Worldwide, 89% of
children go to school. However, only 2% of Children with disability
in Manvi Taluka from low and middle income families attend school.
People with disabilities have generally poorer health, lower
education achievements, fewer economic opportunities and higher
rates of poverty than people without disabilities. This is largely
due to the lack of services available to them and the many obstacles
they face in their everyday lives.
They even don’t have medical certificate to ascertain disability,
leaving them out of the radar of many government schemes. Keeping
these thoughts in mind, lately Vimukti conducted a survey report
provides the best available evidence regarding children with
disability(physically handicapped, Blind, Deaf, Dumb, lame, leper,
crippled etc.,) and what works to overcome barriers to health care,
rehabilitation, education, employment and support services, and to
create the environments action for government to help these
beneficiaries. Thus promote accessibility in the schools for
children with disability. As a result Memorandum was submitted
concerned authority in the district to provide various government
facilities to these little deprived children in the society; So that
these facilities will help them to grow, to learn and to smile like
any other normal child in the society.
