Dhaya, a nurturing haven for children aged 5 to 18 years, has been a home to hundreds of children till date. It is a sanctuary for abandoned and orphaned children, providing them with love, care, and hope. Led by Thaiamma’s boundless affection, Dhaya sprawls across 1.5 acres along the Coimbatore highway, serving as a residence to more than 75 destitute children ranging from 5 to 18 years old.
Within this safe space children attend nearby schools, ensuring access to education. All residents receive nutritious, regular doctor visits ensure their health, while special diets cater to undernourished entrants. Engaging activities like yoga, karate, dance, and various indoor and outdoor games are part of their routine. Recreation here involves music, television, videos, interactions with pets, and delightful outdoor picnics. Dhaya is not just a shelter; it’s a place where children find warmth, care, and opportunities to thrive.
Mentally Challenged Home Coimbatore
Saathvik
Saathvik, Center for Autism, established in 2017, aims to educate and train children with Autism in Pollachi and Coimbatore rural areas. Autism, a neurodevelopmental disorder, presents challenges in social skills, repetitive behaviours, and communication. With 1 in 59 children diagnosed, lack of awareness and financial constraints hinder their integration into society.
Recognizing their potential contribution, we volunteer to support these rural children. They deserve access to quality training. Our project primarily offers ABA therapy—an evidence-based and costly intervention globally. Saathvik ensures no child misses out due to financial constraints.
Data collection is integral for monitoring each child’s progress in our program. With support from all quarters, we aim to provide these children with the best possible training and integration opportunities.
