Empowering the clients through the Client’s Association is an important activity at Sahanaya. The clients meet monthly to discuss their problems and implement programmes in order to improve their quality of life. A medical professional sits in on the meeting to answer any queries they may have. Some of these members have formed a Saturday Club and meet at Sahanaya on Saturdays for recreational purposes.
“I was very ill when I first came to Sahanaya in 1996. Sahanaya had very structured programs which I really enjoyed and this helped me improve my skills. I was also able to improve my English and the discipline I learnt from the programmes allowed me to later adjust to regular employment in the outside world.”
