Advitya is an NGO which encourages the
creative talent of mentally challenged individuals. The
organisation was established on 1st August 2000 with a mission
to create a Centre with a group of youth who are unable to
continue in their special schools due to their age or the need
for more more meaningful and satisfying way, in an atmosphere of
shared love and joy.
The youth at Advitya are rejected by most institutions because
they cannot adjust easily there and require personilised
attention. Although they are adults, they need to be showered
affection like infants and crave or emotional security. At
Advitya most of these troubled youth shed their depression and
behavioural problems in just 15 days, our personalized attention
helps therse children make the transition from being tantrum
throwers to calm and confident young adults. Today they have
conviction in their abilities and a purpose in life.

Ms. Anjali Shah is the main thrust behind Advitya and has accumulated a tremendous amount of experience in working with mentally challenged children.
For several years she worked as a special teacher with Dr. Mehta's School, Malad and later she moved on to help children at Dilkush Special Workshop Juhu. The experience made her eminently qualified to commence this project.

arrive at work each day with eagerness and commitment. Our
monthly entertainment programs, games and recreational
activities are designed to keep the youth active and motivated.
Advitya has been blessed with an extremely dedicated and
diligent set of volunteers whose age group ranges from 14 to 60.
Their energy, determination and enthusiasm continue to fuel 's
success in enriching the lives of mentally challenged youth.
Great care is taken by each volunteer to communicate with each
child. |
