Therapeutic residential center for people with special needs

Only a Mother can understand another mothers heart…

How often have you had to rush back from work or cancel appointments or miss a function because there’s no one to take care of your child back home ? It truly gets difficult to tag the child as their tantrums can make life miserable.

 

When Keerthana, a Mother of a special child, had to sacrifice her job and all its luxuries because she found it difficult to balance work and home – she had to fetch her child from the crèche, feed her, dress her up, when ill, run around to ensure the medications were given on time and many such complication that could arise.

She didn’t want women who worked so hard to get their dream job to throw it all away because there were parent to a special child. Her work was affected because she had to log out and rush back to her baby.  She decided to start a home where women like her could drop off their children and pick them up any time of the day.

 

Riya Foundation caters to parents who travel and do night shifts. The facility allows parents to drop off their children even late at night. Named after her child, “Riya Foundation” ensures disabled children from rural areas are provided schooling and hostel facility too.

It is a charged centre. I know there are thousands of women like me who had to quit their job after a child. I don’t want that to happen. It’s important for a woman to pursue her career” she says.
