Pusat Jagaan Kanak-kanak Kurang Upaya KIRTARSH

Pusat Jagaan Kanak-kanak Kurang Upaya KIRTARSH was established in July 2005. It is a non-political,non-racial,non-religious and non-profitable organisation specially established to look into the needs of ‘special children’, mentally disabled and the homeless in their immediate shelter, food, education, therapy, medication and general well-being. There are currently over 50 children, adults and senior citizens in their care.

Our services

Some of these occupants have Down Syndrome,  are Autistic or slow learners as well as are intellectually disabled.  Some of them also suffer from audio impairment and also children from poor backgrounds and from broken homes.  The organisation is also open to helping provide shelter for the homeless.  Supervision is needed for some of the mentally challenged occupants who need 24 hour care and support for their daily routines (bathing, eating, etc).

The objective of the Home is to provide for occupants under their care in all aspects and to equip them for an independent, rewarding and fulfilling life in the future.
