The vision for U&I Care is to transform institutional care in our nation. All across the country are homes which house thousands of women and children, in desperate need of care, rehabilitation and support. Our vision is to work with these homes and transform them into model homes which empower their inmates to lead a fruitful and fulfilling life.
As a pilot project, over three years ago, we began working the Institute for Mentally Handicapped Children. This residential home is a State-run home for destitute mentally challenged boys under the age of 21. At present, the Home is understaffed and overpopulated. It lacks the necessary infrastructure to successfully rehabilitate the boys at the Home. Over the last three years, U&I has been working in the Government Home for Mentally Challenged Boys with the following aims:
- To improve the level of care being given to the boys at the Home.
- To hire and train sufficient qualified staff and provide a working environment which aspires to excellence and continuous improvement.
- To improve the infrastructure at the Home.
- To assess the current state of each boy and create a Personalised Development Plan for each child and execute it.
