Prabhat

It is said that the “Child is the father of the man” and this adage is the precise description of the journey travelled by the Society for Child Development from 1992 till now in the fulfilment of its vision and mission.

A resource center for children with disabilities, especially the mentally challenged children. Our aim is to create a nurturing space where they can learn and develop.

“Education is the passport to the future, for tomorrow belongs to those who prepare for it today.”

Malcolm X

Our Purpose

The education of children with mental disabilities, and other learning difficulties, has been a neglected field. Prabhat was set up to herald a “New Dawn” in the pedagogical process where the child is the pivot of the program.

Thus, Prabhat works in the areas of early childhood and elementary school education with a clearly defined curriculum and with the use of specially designed work materials. Located in North Delhi (an area that is very poorly served for this population) the school works with 300+ students in the age range of 3 – 45 years.

Our Supporting Programs

Trash to Cash - Vocational Training

The Vocational Training Centre (VTC) was founded in 1999. The center serves as a transition point between education and occupation and graduating students with intellectual disabilities from Prabhat benefit from a continuity of education as they enter the world of adulthood. Students with intellectual disabilities from other institutions are also admitted. The focus is on developing marketable income generating skills to firmly establish the youngsters’ place in society. In the process of acquiring vocational skills, trainees learn the following crafts:

1. Weaving discarded and surplus fabrics
2. Hand rolling of Incense sticks from a special mixture of temple flowers
3. Papermaking from surplus fabrics and discarded paper
4. Color and Dyes from temple flowers and other botanicals
5. Candles and Diyas
6. Cooking

And when they have mastered the basics of the above, there are transferred to the Trash to Cash Skill Development and Recycling program to learn further about the creative skills required for upcycling for a better world.

Trash-to-Cash: recycle waste to produce items of utility like coasters from discarded floppies, fabric from audio and video tapes, pouches and curtains from surplus material.

APNE SAHARE – INDEPENDENT LIVING

Encouraged by the response and the degree of satisfaction achieved, SfCD has embarked on a mission to set up an independent living center for people with disabilities.

The National Trust supported our center for the Welfare of Persons with Autism, Cerebral Palsy, Mental Retardation and Multiple Disabilities is proposed to be set up in North Delhi in September 2007.

Our mission will be to teach these young adults to live independently, perform their routine chores without assistance and become self reliant. In consonance with our overall philosophy and given the requisite encouragement and support we intend to target the severely handicapped segment of the disabled who get left out due to the greater degree of difficulty involved in attending to them.

People Behind it all!

Come meet our dedicated staff behind the success of our program.

  The society for child development is a beautiful place to visit. All children with the staff here are specially able. Moreover, they are providing employment to the children by teaching them the skill to make bags with wrappers of chips, paper mache products and books. They are protecting mother earth and at same time creating employment opportunities for specially able children for securing their future.
