SLUM Project: This is an outreach project in the slum communities of Govindpuri, in South Delhi. It was initiated in Jan 1996 - providing rehabilitation services to children with disabilities such as Polio, Blindness, Speech and Hearing impairments, Epilepsy, Mental Retardation and Cerebral Palsy and support to their families.
They've already spent a few years on this center. They started from beginning in a garage with one child to working with fifteen children and providing remedial help and information to ten more children. They have a small teacher-student ratio and intensive one on one sessions with the children who have multiple disabilities and mental retardation.
Their Services:
* Special Education
* Speech Therapy
* Physiotherapy
* Parent Counseling
* Imparting info to Parents

Astha has met with many families with disabled children in Govindpuri. Most of the families tried to get the children treated (before) and the children were given aids like hearing aids, braces etc but were not trained on how to use them leaving the aids unused.

Other Service and Activities run the last three years by ASTHA
