We Care is a public charitable trust, registered in Bangalore, India, on 30th January 1999. We are a secular, non-governmental, non-political and non-religious trust. Our benefactors and beneficiaries include people without discrimination of religion, race, caste, language, gender or colour. We associate ourselves with individuals and associations of people of goodwill.
We Care was born of true love and concern of the poor during the 75th birthday of its founder Mrs Theresa D Souza in 1999. It was her way of showing gratitude for the innumerable blessings of God. Observing the woes of the vast multitude of poor, the impoverished and thousands of children living the life of deprivation, she established a charitable trust under the name. With the express intent of ensuring that every poor child would receive primary education and become literate, We Care provides financial assistance to children for all their schooling needs. In the logical step ahead, it also extends financial assistance to young boys and girls to pursue vocational education.
The project has started a nursery school to support the education of poor children and has also initiated a program of mid day meals for school children from poor families. Apart from its project head quarters in Bangalore, We care also has a program for providing meals to over thirty tribal school girls in a remote village in Bihar.

A decade of partnership with AIFO, started with the visit of Dr. Daisy, Dr. Ekambaram, Dr. Sunil & Dr. Jose, Who witnessed the institution and rural based programs of Shree Ramana Maharishi Academy for the Blind® (SRMAB) which aimed at providing education, vocational training and livelihood empowerment support to children and adults with disabilities (PWD’s) since 1969.

AIFO’s visionaries, during their various visits to the rural rehabilitation programs, identified that persons affected with leprosy and leprosy affected disabilities were not addressed. Thus, developed  a partnership with SRMAB, resulting in:

Malavalli Community Based Rehabilitation: since 1997

SRMAB in association with AIFO since 1997 extended the CBR programme in Mandya & Malavalli Taluk (sub division), of Halagur Hobli. The program started with 30 villages. Which was gradually extended over the next 5 years to the entire Malavalli Tq, to work with all the categories of persons with disabilities.Focusing on developing “a community participation and inclusion of persons with Leprosy and leprosy cured disabilities”.

4 more blocks (Ramanagar and Channapatna Tq’s of Ramanagara Dist, Maddur & K R Pet Tq’s of Mandya Dist) were included to address the 5 matrix of CBR (health, education, livelihood, social and empowerment) as defined in the CBR Matrix.Currently the project works in 1202 villages covering a disabled population of 11,248 (Disabilities due to leprosy, Visual Impairment, Convulsion, Learning disability, Speech and hearing, Multiple disability, Movement disability, Disabilities due to Mental Illness)

The project work towards empowering 5 DPO’s, 110 SHG’s, local government such as Grama Panchayath CBR and Sarva Shiska Abhiyana (education for all) programs of government, The 5 components of CBR – health, education, skill training, economic empowerment and right based social inclusion reflects in the daily lives of PWD’s & PAL’s associated with the project services.During 2004 -2005 a Mid-term evaluation of the CBR programs was under taken by ‘Independent Consultants. And based on their recommendation, a 5 year activity plan was designed ‘with the objective of ‘developing a aware participatory community of people with disabilities and their families’ who address their issues locally.

S-PARK/CBR research initiative on impact of CBR in a district in south of India:

Dr. Sunil Deepak, Head of Medical & Scientific department AIFO (ITALY) is the Global Coordinator assisted by Dr. Jayanth Kumar (National Coordinator) and their dedicated team, have embarked on a research initiative, which focuses on impact of 10 years of Malavalli CBR activities in district with 1.8 million population and 22,000 persons with disabilities benefiting from those activities.

Nayee Asha, which, translated in English, means “New Hope”, is located in Kheri village, a lonely outpost in the district of Daurala, Meerut, a satellite township of New Delhi, the Capital of India. Father KJ Anthony is the Director of the Nayee Asha School and Hostel. With the assistance of 13 semi-voluntary teachers, unsparing efforts are made to achieve the goals of the institution that were set out at the time of its inception.

In 1985 Nayee Asha was registered as a charitable society. It’s primary aim was to be part of the country-wide effort to eradicate leprosy from India and to rehabilitate the victims of the disease along with their children.

In 1986 Nayee Asha commenced a State-wide leprosy eradication program in Western Uttar Pradesh.

In 1987, funded by Kindermissionwerk Germany, the Nayee Asha Society put up a school and hostel for the children of leprosy patients who were being treated in the Nayee Asha Leprosy Hospital. The hostel started out life with about 50 children. In the course of the intervening years, more and more such children have found refuge within the portals of Nayee Asha.

In 2001 Government of India declared leprosy to be eradicated from India as per World Health Organisation guidelines.  Freshly discovered cases of leprosy were thereafter referred for treatment to the nearest government primary health centre.  The Nayee Asha leprosy hospital closed down, leaving the Society free to focus its full attention on the serious business of educating (with the goal of rehabilitating) the children of leprosy patients who were in its care.

Today there are approximately 300 children, with the numbers steadily increasing. Approximately ten children appear for the Class X Board Examinations each year out of which at least 70% achieve a successful result. A small number of them some go on for further studies.
