Rainbow Rhapsody

Autism Awareness Day 2024

Rainbow Rhapsody is a poignant initiative aimed at fostering autism awareness and support on Autism Awareness Day and beyond. It draws inspiration from the multifaceted symbolism of the rainbow, representing hope, beauty, and inclusivity. Paired with the evocative connotations of “rhapsody,” denoting a deeply emotional artistic expression, Rainbow Rhapsody embodies a journey toward understanding, acceptance, and empowerment for autistic individuals.

In collaboration with esteemed partners such as the Kochi Municipal Corporation, Social Justice Department, and the ICDS-Women and Child Department, Rainbow Rhapsody is committed to a comprehensive approach encompassing awareness campaigns, educational initiatives, therapeutic interventions, and early diagnosis and intervention programs.

Rainbow Rhapsody is not merely a one-time event but a sustained effort toward creating a society where everyone, regardless of neurodiversity, can thrive in harmony.

Nurturing Neurodiversity for a Brave Future!

Jeevaniyam Charitable Trust is dedicated to positively impacting the lives of individuals with special needs, with a primary focus on therapy, education, and rehabilitation. Led by Dr. Reshmi Pramod, our mission is inspired by her personal journey with disability, which fuels our commitment to providing comprehensive support and resources for children with special needs. With a longstanding dedication to therapy and rehabilitation, our focus now extends to nurturing neurodiversity, specializing in Autism, Genetic Disorders, Learning Development, ADHD, and Congenital Anomalies.

Dr. Reshmi’s profound experience drives her to integrate Ayurvedic knowledge into our support services for individuals with autism and various neurological issues. Our trust is committed to creating an inclusive space where individuals with unique neurological needs can thrive independently and contribute meaningfully to society. Jeevaniyam Trust extends its efforts beyond children with special needs to include palliative care, disaster relief, and support for communities affected by crises. Together, we navigate the diverse landscapes of health and well-being, leaving no one behind.

Upcoming Projects

Uddhara

Project UDDHARA is Jeevaniyam Trust’s distinctive humanitarian endeavor focused on individuals with mild intellectual challenges—a segment often not addressed. Spanning 61 weeks, this initiative aims to provide intensive training and mentoring to a select group of 20 adults. The ultimate goal is to cultivate significant enhancements in their conceptual, numerical, vocational, and life skills, paving the way for social and economic autonomy. As a result, participants are empowered to pursue gainful employment or self-employment opportunities upon project completion.

Inclusive Education

Collaborating with Saraswathi Nikethan, Kaloor, Jeevaniyam Trust launched “Project Inclusive Education.” This program, designed for children with neurodiverse conditions, especially autism, goes beyond existing government initiatives. Introduced last year, the initiative has already made a substantial impact, successfully placing four children in LKG and UKG classes in collaboration with the school. This highlights the positive strides achieved through the inclusive education approach.
