Chingari Trust celebrated New Year on December 31 with congenitally disabled children born in the families affected by Bhopal Gas Tragedy and subsequent water contamination. On this occasion special children have participated in various activities like: Fancy dress, games, dance, singing etc. Chingari Trust has been working from last 13 years for the rehabilitation of congenitally disabled children born in the families affected due to Bhopal Gas Tragedy.
About one hundred and seventy children come every day at Chingari rehabilitation centre and receive physiotherapy, occupational therapy, speech therapy, special education, supplementary nutrition provisions and transportation facilities. Chingari Trust operates a clinic committed to helping children in Bhopal born with various psychological and physical disabilities. The Chingari Trust Rehabilitation Center has around over 930 children registered with the Chingari Trust and 200 children come to the centre each day and receive long-term care.
Most children come with their mothers but there are a few children who come on their own. The services offered at the Chingari Rehabilitation Center include physiotherapy, occupational therapy, speech therapy, special education and sports activities. These children come from families that are impoverished and one can only imagine how much poverty compounds their existing health problems. This is a major reason why the free care and therapy that is given at the Chingari Rehabilitation center is so crucial.
