As part of their MPH curriculum, our First Year MPH scholars visited Riya Foundation’s Riya Hope Farm, a residential lifetime care home and vocational training center for persons with intellectual disabilities.
The home currently supports 37 residents, cared for through donations from kind-hearted individuals. The team at Riya Foundation emphasized the importance of community support to continue meeting their needs.
The beneficiaries receive free consultation, counselling, and treatment every month from Justice K.S. Hegde Charitable Hospital, through the continued support of Nitte (Deemed to be University).
This visit helped our students understand the dedicated efforts involved in running such an organization and the compassion required to care for individuals with long-term health challenges.
