மனநலம் பாதிக்கப்பட்டோருக்கான இல்லம் , ஆர்க்Description
The ARK Children's Home for Differently Abled Children was founded on February 2nd, 1987, by the Holy Family Sisters of Bordeaux with a mission to empower special children by helping them live independently, perform their tasks on their own, and grow in their abilities. Over the years, this home has touched the lives of many differently abled boys and girls, providing them with life formation and the care they need to thrive.
Today, the ARK is home to 33 children between the ages of 5 and 18, with 18 of them being residential students. Alongside a special school for both day scholars and residential students, The ARK offers essential self-care training and professional vocational programs tailored to each child's unique potential.
