In May 2021, we launched the Monthly Healthy Grains Programme , specifically designed to support our children with special needs. We deliver monthly nutritious food to support their journey toward healthier lives. Our package includes a variety of pulses and health supplements like Manna health mix, channa, nuts, fruits, honey, and dates.
One of the beneficiaries is Arokiyam, a 15-year-old boy with special needs from Tirunelveli, whose parents have passed away. He lives with his grandfather, who works as a daily wage laborer to support them. Arokiyam faces both physical and mental challenges and relies on his grandfather for all his needs. He is proud to be the first beneficiary of CHF’s Healthy Grains Programme .
Another young individual whose story profoundly affected us is Paul Ebenezar. Paul is a 15-year-old boy with special needs who faced a tragic turn of events at the age of two and a half. Due to medical negligence, he was administered an incorrect injection, which severely compromised his health and led to permanent disability. To support his well-being, CHF provides him with monthly healthy food supplements.
We also had the opportunity to meet Ranga and Rohin, two young children with special needs. Ranga was born mute, while Rohin faces mental challenges. Despite his circumstances, Rohin always greets everyone with a warm smile and cheerful laughter, and he enjoys posing for the camera. It is heart-wrenching to witness such wonderful children endure hardship. They are affected by the harsh realities of poverty, which limits their access to nutritious food. Our Healthy Grains Programme aims to ensure that these children consistently receive essential nutritional supplements.
Thanks to the support from our donors, we can now expand our Monthly Healthy Grains Programme to reach more children. We have met and engaged with children with special needs and have included them in our initiative. With your continued support, we will be able to include many more differently-abled and special needs children who are eager to join the Programme .
