“Disabled children in Manvi Taluka miss
out due to lack of support services…”
On 12th November 2019, Vimukti with the collaboration of Ensemble
Agissons, France, under “HEALTH FOR ALL” project along with CHILDLINE
1098 Raichur involving more than 9 staff actively participated and
identified differently abled children in 3 major villages, Kavithal,
Vatgal and Amingada. 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.
