SOCIETY FOR WELFAREOF CHILDRENAnnual Report - 2019 - 20

This year we have conceited with a huge amount of work, research and

dedication. Still, implementation would not have been possible if we did not

have a support of many individuals and organizations. Therefore we would like

to extend our sincere gratitude to all of them.

First of all we are thankful to all our donors for their ?nancial and logistical

support and for providing necessary guidance .

We are also grateful to all our members, doctors, therapists and vendors for

provision of expertise, and technical support in the implementation. We confess

without their unsparing support it would not have been possible to achieve our

mission, objectives of goals of our society.

We would like to express our sincere thanks towards our volunteers, researchers

who devoted their time and knowledge in the implementation of all our

initiatives.

Nevertheless, we express our gratitude towards our families and colleagues for

their kind co-operation and encouragement, which help us in completion of this

successful year.

CerebralPalsyDay is a social movement and a day to celebrate and af�irm the lives of the17 million people living with cerebral palsy (CP). The project was launched in 2012 by Cerebral Palsy Alliance (Australia) and United Cerebral Palsy (USA). It is supported by over 380 CP service organisations, universities, parent groups, research institutions, and children's hospitals from 62 countries.

Conclusion :

The primary goal of our society is to identify action initiatives that make up the Action Agenda for a New Millennium in order to foster our resolve of eradication and prevention of disability from the community all across different economical strata.

Last �inancial year similar to the past seventeen years was evident from our actions of conducting and organizing several camps, seminars, and awareness programs alongwith aids and appliances distribution to the special need person. The number of bene�iciaries from our service both at our Vocational center and child development center has seen a compatible growth and we are very satis�ied with the impact that we have been able to make to the community at large like every year.

This �inancial year will be a much more impactful year from the con�idence and support we have gained from various quarters which will enable us to spread our wings and enable us to expand beyond the locality both in terms of services and reach by introducing the following projects:

1. Awareness / Sensitization through different media and especially using the latest digital and social media campaigns.

2. Organizing theme based expositions and events to enhance our reach.

3. Organizing weekly camps at every grass root level.

4. Research, development and training based mother and child Institute �irst time in this part of the world devoted towards our resolve.
