The Navajeevana Centre Navajeevana knows that people with disabilities often need access to several different services. A stroke patient, for example, may need physiotherapy, speech therapy, occupational therapy, counselling and help with generating an income in their own community, as well as a comfortable and functioning wheelchair that they know how to use. We also know that access to these diverse services across southern Sri Lanka is difficult. Sadly, people with disabilities are often denied access to the services they need the most because of poor infrastructure, lack of money or simply lack of awareness about what’s available to them. Becuase of this, in 2008 Navajeevana opened a fully accessible rehabilitation centre - a“one stop shop” where people with disabilities can access all the services they need under one roof. We are already seeing the benefits of the centre - with children in our schools learning, developing and becoming empowered in their new premises, more and more people accessing our IBR services, and staff working with better equipment in better facilities. Above all, the prestigious location and public face of the centre is a huge step towards upgrading the status of people with disabilities in Sri Lanka. In early 2009 we were delighted to open our coffee and craft shop at the centre in Tangalla. To see a map, visit the about us page.
