Why Disability Awareness Programs Matter

At Amma Nanna Anada Ashramam, we care for some of the most neglected souls—mentally challenged orphans and abandoned individuals found on the streets. Many have been misunderstood, mistreated, and left behind. Not because they did anything wrong, but because society failed to understand their needs.

This is why disability awareness programs matter.

1. Awareness Breaks the Stigma

People often look at someone with a mental disability and label them as “mad” or “useless.” These labels don’t just hurt—they isolate.

Awareness programs help people realize that mental disability is not a character flaw. It is a condition that needs understanding, care, and support. When society learns, empathy replaces fear.

2. Awareness Builds an Inclusive Society

Inclusion is more than just sharing space—it’s about acceptance. Many of the individuals in our care were rejected by their own families or communities. Through awareness, we can build a future where no one is turned away for being different.

When schools, workplaces, and neighborhoods become more informed, they also become more compassionate. They open their doors, hearts, and minds to everyone.

3. Awareness Leads to Action

Most people want to help, but they don’t know how. Awareness programs provide knowledge, which leads to meaningful support—be it through donations, volunteering, or even policy change.

When people understand the daily challenges faced by the mentally disabled—especially orphans without any family—they are more likely to step up and become part of the solution.

4. What We Do at Amma Nanna Ashramam

At Amma Nanna Anada Ashramam, we provide shelter, food, medication, and love to mentally challenged individuals who have no one else.

We serve over 600 people daily, offering them dignity and care that society denied them.

Through the upcoming Sri Punyalingeswara Swamy Temple, we are building not just a spiritual space but also a center of compassion—where every donation helps us continue feeding and caring for the forgotten.
