Life is a precious gift but for less privileged children it is a challenge. This is even more evident with children suffering from Type 1 Diabetes and Epilepsy, two constant, unrelenting conditions that prevent them from living wholesome lives. It is only through understanding and mastering the conditions that these children can be given the opportunity to grow, mature and lead happy, fulfilling lives. Nityaasha was established to reach out to these children from families that do not have access to resources that can support them in their struggle to deal with these two debilitating conditions.
Driven by a holistic approach we provide education, guidance, monitoring and medical assistance essential for families to gain confidence in managing diabetes and epilepsy at home and at school.
Our ultimate goal is to help these children control their disease and promote their overall development, paving the way towards a happy, healthy future.
We have impacted on the lives 155 children and helped to transform their otherwise dismal condition into an enriching experience. For us, every child served is a life enabled and a dream fulfilled.
This is a drop in the ocean and the challenge looms large. The plight of children who suffer from these debilitating conditions is heart rending. Apart from providing quality services to those in need, it is imperative to increase awareness about children suffering from Type 1 Diabetes and Epilepsy so that a better understanding is effected in the public domain and urgent assistance comes to this otherwise neglected sector.
We cannot do this alone with our existing resources. We appeal to individuals and organizations to generously support our efforts to extend Nityaasha’s holistic, human care, to more children so that they too may enjoy the precious gift of life.
