A Ray of Hope for little Sichithra

The Real Life Story of a Little Girl with Multiple Disabilities

 

Till recently little Sichithra woke up every morning only to lie in the bed for the rest of the day. Today like every other child, she is doing what she has always wanted to do – go to school. Ailing from multiple disabilities caused by cerebral palsy and partial blindness, Sichitra had almost lost hope of leading a normal life ever again. It was BUDS,a special school for differently-abled children, run by Kudumbashree that gave her a new life and a new hope. 

This is the first time in India that a Panchayath and grassroots group of women have come together to create an initiative to meet the needs of children with disabilities and this has achieved tremendous results.
