Message
from the Representative in India:
Seirei Asha Bhavan is a registered organization, established in 1989 and works for the total development of the persons with disabilities especially the mentally challenged people. We had a simple beginning in 1989, but now we are able to give services indirectly to 74 persons with disabilities through our CBR program.
Our aim is to give enough education, training, and rehabilitate them in their community with some income generation schemes or jobs.
I am a former trainee of JCSWL and trained in the Seirei Group Institutions. Late Mr. Tamotsu Hasegawa inspired me a lot and given me the real vision in social work. The Seirei Group supported us to buy the land and house for establishing the Seirei Asha Bhavan. We are also privileged to accept students from Seirei Christopher University, Social Welfare Department for the International Practicum. In the state of Kerala, it is estimated that there are about 8lakhs (800,000) people with mental handicap. But less than 25,000 people are getting some kind of training and rehabilitation. The other people must be reached out as soon as possible. We also aim at opening CBR projects in each village so that we can reach more people with disabilities and give them training and rehabilitation.
Let us join our hands and hearts to help these differentially disabled people to become one among ourselves and make them productive members of the society. We believe that and try to fulfill as said in Bible “I tell you the truth, what ever you did for one of the least of the brethren of mine you did for me”. Thus we enjoy in serving HIM.
