We at Caritas India are working towards poverty alleviation, humanitarian response, environment, education and health. Caritas India was established in 1962. We have limited capacities when it comes to carers. In every program, we have carers taking care of elderly and persons with disabilities, children with disabilities. We wish to know if you could share with us some kind of training module that can be used in training the carers.
I am interested in your care giving model to understand its process.
