00:00In the serene hills of Churachankar, home to Kuki tribe, stands a school that redefines education, empowerment and inclusion.
00:12The Malsom initiative, a beacon of hope since 2011, began with just 15 children and now supports over 50 children and persons with disabilities.
00:24More than a school, TMI offers dignity, care and a future of possibilities.
00:31With support from the Wipro Foundation and through Braille, Sign Language and personalized learning plans, it extends its impact beyond classrooms, into homes, hearts and communities.
00:46In the future I would like to become a cabin crew, education, sign language, love, acceptance.
00:58One child stood unassisted for the first time after 11 years of therapy.
01:04Another, once confined to a wheelchair, now talks on her own.
01:09Their remarkable progress reflects not just medical milestones, but the transformative power of care, patience and unwavering belief.
01:22The students are getting free education and we have a scheme called sponsorship where the community or anyone willing can sponsor a child with disabilities.
01:36And most of the funding, around 60%, 50 to 60% are raised from the community.
01:43TMI's inclusive education program now supports six mainstream schools.
01:50While its early intervention unit and home school program help children grow not only in knowledge, but also in confidence and independence.
02:01We are able to provide necessary equipment or necessary trainings or necessary things.
02:16Those who are, those are needed for persons with disabilities, we provide them for the best we can.
02:23And because of that, some of our students can join this mainstream school.
02:28In Chura Chanpur, love speaks louder than barriers.
02:34And at the Malsom initiative, every child's voice, dream and step forward is heard, valued and celebrated.
02:43.
