We are an institution that loves and takes care of the various handicapped and teaches them values and numerous skills.
As Christ Loved the people and taught them many things, Handicapped Center Lourdes loves the various handicapped and teaches them values and skills.
The personal love of Jesus Christ through sharing our skills and talents and providing them with care;
An opportunity to have a minimum standard of living through providing them with basic needs, such as water, food, shelter and clothing;
A caring family that would make them feel loved and accepted; and
An appropriate education that would help them realize their own talents and skills
It is with family atmosphere that the center shows its pastoral care to the handicapped, especially to the abandoned children, who are being cared of 24 hours by full-time staff, who act as their “mothers” who give them counsel, care and compassion. The center offers early intervention, treatment for high-risk babies and testing services at various ages. It also recognizes and helps improve the skills and talents of handicapped and people in need.
The center offers four programs for handicapped persons and raises awareness in order to work for persons with various disabilities. The programs include providing residence for 13 multiple handicapped persons who are abandoned; day-care service for seven multiple handicapped who live with their parents; a free-of-charge physical rehabilitation for 117 people with disabilities and poor elderly; and advocacy for social awareness and action.
