Fulfilling Social Life and Family Respite
Our work and dedication gives a long-term impact on the life of people with disabilities, and also on their families’ life. Some of our beneficiaries are employed and have a fulfilling social life. Some of them see the Day Care Center as their home. Thanks to Poraka Nova, the families can have a respite from their everyday engagement with the member with a disability, and may have more free time to contribute in different ways for their families and their personal life.
