Recognizing the importance of dedicated caregivers, we provide financial assistance to individuals committed to offering services to children with learning disabilities. By supporting these caregivers, we aim to build a strong network of individuals passionate about making a positive impact on the lives of these children.
Mr. Caretaker provides financial support to service providers like auto men, housemaids, caterers etc. A timely financial help
A timely financial help like providing advance money to auto drivers to buy an auto, purchasing utensils and groceries to caterers will provide a livelihood to them. Also, scholarships will be offered to the deserving needy therapists or persons doing Ph.D. related to special education needs.

Mr. Caretaker, a Prajha Trust wing, helps people with learning disabilities become financially self-sufficient by providing vocational training like plumbing, mechanic, book binding etc and placement assistance.
Individuals with learning disabilities have encountered many challenges in seeking employment and lead an independent life.
If given enough opportunities, they can perform and be productive in the same way as other workers. As a result, educational and training programmes for students with learning disabilities must be adequate in order for them to be eligible for labour employment.

To ensure timely support, we organize early intervention camps that serve as a crucial platform for assessments and interventions. These camps bring together experts, educators, and caregivers, creating an invaluable opportunity for early identification and tailored interventions for children with learning disabilities.
As part of our commitment, we adopt parks and play areas, turning them into vibrant and inclusive spaces for children with learning disabilities. These transformed areas are designed to cater to the unique needs of these children, providing them with a safe and enjoyable environment for play and learning.
Prajha Trust would want to adopt a government park or play area where special children can get some fresh air and interact with other children. It helps them get in better shape. The Prajha Trust wants to cover maintenance costs, as well as provide handrails, ramps, and other amenities..

Learning disabled students are brilliant and require a change in the educational technique. It’s also based on years of research that indicates that when inclusive education is done successfully, children gain self-confidence, a good self-image, social behaviours, as well as the academic and other. It encourages parents to participate in their children’s education as well as the activities of their local schools. Inclusive settings create a typical life for children who are accepted by their peers, have friends and lead regular lives.
Mr.Caretaker (a wing of Prajha Trust) recognises the benefits of inclusive education and plans to adopt government schools for the inclusion of children with learning difficulties alongside regular students. They seek to fund classroom expenses such as table costs, lab costs, and so on.
