u&i CARE
Social Services Complex for Men
is a Home for differently-abled men. U&I works with the men in the Home to provide vocational training, special education, hygiene and healthcare. Our volunteers also spend time with the men every single week, providing much-need social interaction. It’s a simple task, but for these men who have no chance to leave the Home, it’s the only contact they have with the outside world. It reaffirms their value and changes their perspective.
