The Recreation and Activity Club, serves adults with intellectual challenges, addressing their essential need for recreation, friendship, and belonging. RAC organizes outings to parks, beaches, festivals, and restaurants, along with one-day picnics and overnight trips. These activities nurture lifelong bonds, offering members joy, comfort during difficult times, and a profound sense of inclusion and meaning in their lives.

The Program supports families of children with Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities, offering free counseling and guidance to over 200 parents annually. To expand this initiative, AWMH plans to establish a “Counseling & Guidance Centre,” providing comprehensive preventative, diagnostic, and therapeutic services under one roof. Specialists including gynecologists, pediatricians, neurologists, and therapists will address diverse needs. The center’s realization depends on donor contributions to secure premises, equipment, and operational funding, ensuring holistic care and support for these families.
