Rehabilitation

Objective of rehabilitation is improvement of the lives of children with a disability living in our project villages. This is planned through local solutions so that the support becomes consolidated in the local community, realising that these children become an asset for their families and the society in stead of a burden.

 

Karuna tries to realise her mission through two different projects. We have achieved concrete results of the completed activities. At this moment much effort is being put in gathering information on the improvement of the quality of life from the perspective of the families and children themselves.
