HHRD’s Children with Disabilities Sponsorship Program provides support for 6 major
components. While their implementation varies by region, each child will receive support in
each of these areas.
1. Rehabilitation Services – include assistive devices and mobility aids, transportation to and
from HHRD rehabilitation centers, physical, occupational, Speech and psychotherapy as
evaluated and prescribed by doctors.
2. Food & Subsistence – Food distributions, clothing and monetary support.
3. Educational Support is tailored to the functional capacities and developmental needs
of each child with disability. For children enrolled in formal education settings—either
mainstream or special needs institutions—support includes tuition support, provision of
educational materials, school uniforms, and shoes. For those with limited access to formal
schooling, alternative learning pathways are provided through basic literacy and vocational
training programs. In cases of severe disability, interventions prioritize training in activities
of daily living (ADLs) to enhance self-care, autonomy, and overall quality of life.
4. Health – Annual medical checkups, healthcare assistance through referrals to specialists,
and hygiene kits.
5. Social Upliftment – extracurricular activities to foster community and combat isolation.
6. Child Protection Rights – Child protection efforts include regular follow-up visits with children
and their families at both home and school environments to ensure safe, abuse-free, and
nurturing conditions. Caregiver training workshops are conducted to build awareness
around the rights of children with disabilities and promote positive caregiving practices.
Community sensitization initiatives—such as awareness walks, designated sensitization days,
and educational workshops—are organized to foster inclusive attitudes, reduce stigma, and
strengthen community support for children with disabilities and their families.
