relationships and peer friendships. Asha Niketan, Chennai also reaches out to people with

intellectually disability living nearby and who cannot be accommodated into our residential

program by providing them with therapeutic activities, and counseling for their family

members.

The present lockdown due to COVID-19 crisis has affected disproportionately persons with

disabilities in comparison to non-disabled persons. The containment measures such as social

distancing and self-isolation are very difficult for our core-members as they rely on the support

of care-giver assistants to cook, eat, bathe, and dress. With the limited caregiver assistants we

are helping persons with disabilities to adapt and cope with the situation.

Asha Niketan Chennai depends on support and help provided by individual benefactors to

support their day to day operational costs but due to lockdown such support has become

difficult. Hence raising money to buy food, medicine, personal effects, and much-needed

corona- prevention kit has become a challenge.

Besides due to lockdown, the families of persons with disabilities who rely on their daily wages

find themselves without the support which leaves them at high risk of starvation and health.

Asha Niketan Chennai has redefined its outreach program to support these families with food

supplies, medicine and other in-kind support to reduce the risk of falling into greater

vulnerability and poverty.

We earnestly look forward to your support and contribution to help people with disabilities

and their families to wade through these difficult times.
