JEEVAN JYOTHI TRUST
-
The Jeevan Jyothi Trust (JJT) is
a registered Public Charitable Trust working for the welfare of
children with disabilities and down trodden people in the areas of
social, economic, education and health. The Trust was registered in
the year 1999 under the Indian Trust Act.
-
JJT was recognized by the Child
Welfare Departments of Karnataka Government as Fit Person
Institution.
Main activities & its
Beneficiaries:
-
JJT has built in 2000 a Home in
Jageri to shelter 10/15 infants and children with disabilities. In
2005 JJT extended its projects with opening a Rehabilitation Centre
in Kollegal to enable the Trust to give shelter and medical health
facilities to the Trust children with severe disabilities.
-
The major
beneficiaries group includes all type of disabilities like Children
affected with Cerebral Palsy, Hearing loss, Mentally challenged,
Visually impaired, with Speech problems, children with Loco-motor
challenges. Children were registered below 10 years of age. They are
abandoned children or coming from very poor families. JJT records
today 30 children. Out of these 30 children 19 are handicapped, 11
children are able-bodied orphans.
-
At present JJT
doesn’t accept to take children affected with HIV and AIDS, because
of lack of spaces in the actual premises, adequate devoted staff,
distances of all health commodities and rejection from local medical
corps to care for these types of children. Trust will surely have to
revise their objectives. It’s a matter of fact that this bane
affects daily incalculable number of new cases which are
uncared-for.

Other
activities:
Health:
Health is a great part of the Trust challenge
because most of children require a constant health care and
rehabilitation therapies. Such therapies are administered whenever
needed with active participation of the children/youngsters in a playful
way while using the playground. This help in correcting and improvising
the mobility of either meningitis-affected and spastic and post-operated
children.
Education:
Children physically challenged and children being orphaned by one
parent, Mother or Father, attend the best local English medium Schools
and beside to be special children they come home with 1st
class marks. They are sheltered in the newly started Boarding Home which
was created inside the Rehab Centre Kollegal. The JJT educates at
present 22 school going children. Out of 22 children, 16 children are
coming from a poor background and remote villages. The challenge of the
Trust is to model the education in a way child will get a good
leadership in a healthy and a true spiritual environment enables him/her
to become a strong pillar of the Society. The extra curricular program
encloses classic dance and karate outside the Institution.
Employment:
Devoted and caring staffs are given hostel-care taking responsibilities.
From the creation of the
Trust, the mission was to give social status to rural women through
carrying out educational and job-oriented vocational training courses.
The Trust goals are to generate employment for local people,
predominantly women. JJT employ actually 27 persons for the good running
of the Institution, all are from rural areas. Out of these 27 persons,
(13 are Hindus of which 6 from
Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes
(SC/ST), 13 Christians and 1 Muslim.

Jeevan Jyothi Trust vision and hope:
For a disabled person,
or an orphaned the crucial aspect is gaining independence and respect of
the Society at large and to get trained for a vocation, to be able to
earn livelihood. Handicapped women may experience special psychological
problems. They may become depressed because their disability makes them
different from most people.
|
Our vision:
the core objective became:
rehabilitating the disabled and the orphaned giving them equal
opportunities of learning and good physical condition to be skilled to
get occupation with responsibilities thus being remunerated as every
human being.
Our hope:
to be
able to accept yearly new poor and needy children coming from wherever
poverty suffocate the human race, giving as many as possible full time
jobs to women with physical disabilities.
