Spandana Mentally Challenged Home.


Spandana is a home for Mentally challenged people started in 1999 with 2 children,Now it is accommodating around 65 children(18 are def/dum children and 42 are mentally challenged children).Among the 65 children 20are day scholars.This home provides the education with few private teachers.Few of the day scholar's parents will pay the fees for their children education.It was started by one middle class family.Initially it used to run with out taking any help fromthe other people.Going forward count of the children got increased in the home.They were unable to run it now without any help.

In 2005 and 2006 they received help from Govt. scheme SSA(Sarva Shiksha Adyan),they used to afford 11 Rs per head on a daily basis and provided the accomodation.Recently LIC(Govt) allotted a vehicle(4 wheeler) to the home by seeing their services to the children.But even they are not in a stage to afford the expenditure for the maintenance of the vehicle.Expenditure of the home is approximately 40k per month.

Now they are not receiving any help from Govt for their minimum needs,So now i hope its our duty to help those needy people for their survival.


From the last three months we have donated items like provisions, rice, fruits, Note books etc on behalf of RUN.They are very happy with our service and sent us a letter of Than
ks. The letter is given on my name as they only know me, but its
all your co-operation and help which makes those innocents get their minimum needs.
I visited the home few times,I felt very happy seeing their services to those children and that made me to help them for their continued existence.







Have a look on the pics which were captured during my visits:
