Shishur Sevay’s Solution: Bridging the Gap
A Special Reason to Do This.
The girls who have grown up at Shishur Sevay have wanted to do this for a long time. They want to give to others what they have received and what has allowed them to overcome their obstacles. In doing so, they are also becoming the leaders of the community, a mighty achievement in itself.
The Idea – De-institutionalization of orphan and disabled children and creation of inclusive family style group homes. Shishur Sevay is the best practices model of inclusive non-institutional care for lost and abandoned girls, some with profound disabilities, all of whom had already been rejected for adoption.
