Chaitanya Vikas Foundation

Chaitanya Vikas foundation is a “Not for Profit” organisation founded by a group of Doctors, Physiotherapists , volunteers and philanthropists with a sole motive of helping the cerebral palsy affected children. The organisation is keen to help these individuals by providing information about understanding of the condition, arrange appropriate treatment and give emotional support to the families so that they can cope with the affected child better. Early intervention and correction of deformities would help the child to live better for the rest of life. We wish to do this by receiving “ help from the donors and pass it on to the receivers”. While cerebral palsy is not curable physiotherapy, surgery and training can help significantly to overcome their disability. Management is a more accurate word than treatment. Management consists of helping a child achieve maximum potential in growth, development and unaided mobility. People with cerebral palsy can go to school, have jobs, get married, raise families and live in their own homes. Most of all, people with cerebral palsy need the opportunity for independence and full inclusion in our society.

Vision & Mission

The foundation noticed that most of the children affected with cerebral palsy belong to poor socio economic group. Their parents are often illiterates and have to work hard for their livings. Their understanding about the condition is poor and cannot afford to seek medical treatment to their children. They care for this disabled children for a while in the form of carrying them and providing the daily needs. Afterwards they simply cannot afford to continue this burden and therefore leave this children to their fate at home. Lack of proper treatment makes the condition worse due to stiffening and contractures. This reduces further their mobility and increases their dependancy on others .

Cerebral palsy is a non progressive condition and most of the times the disabilities are due to secondary effects. Early intervention in the form of Physiotherapy and Surgical correction can stop secondary effects and improve the mobility. If the deformities are corrected at an early stage to improve the mobility of the child as a one time treatment, it will help the child in his entire life to be independent. Most of the treatment including surgeries is inexpensive. With this in mind the foundation wishes to undertake the care of helping these unfortunate children and their parents by means of providing adequate support and treatment. We seek donors help and pass on to the needy children by providing them with all the necessary treatment including physio, surgery, calliper, rehabilitation etc. In other words to provide a one time comprehensive treatment and to make the child independent and self caring for the rest of life. “Treat early and treat fully”

Chaitanya Vikas will join hands with a host of Voluntary Doctors, Physiotherapists, volunteers and network hospitals to achieve this objective at free of cost. who will provide treatment for free of costs. A committee will be formed to make decisions regarding the eligibility of the children for free treatments.
