Residential Facility
Need
The biggest worry of the parents of children with special needs is that who will look after the children when they are gone. The siblings or the extended family are unlikely to look after them, especially in urban areas where families have become largely nuclear in nature with no one to fall back upon. Government, with its limited resources also cannot provide any alternative care facilities.
Khushboo understood the anxiety of the families about future sustenance of these children, decided to set up a residential facility for such children. As a first step, it has purchased 3 acres of land at Tauru, Haryana for this purpose.
