Yayasan Cheshire Indonesia or well known as Wisma Cheshire is a member of Global Alliance of Leonard Cheshire Disability, a non-government organization based in London which operates some 257 homes worldwide.
Wisma Cheshire started in 1974 offering residential care for paraplegics. The organization has grown over the years and now actively runs programmes such as vocational training, disability rights advocation, individual development plan, and residential for person with disabilities.
OUR VISION
Wisma Cheshire envisions an inclusive society where persons with disabilities can achieve their full potential as a person and enjoy equal opportunities through their work place and be accepted into the wider community without prejudice.
OUR MISSION
Wisma Cheshire is a home, registered in Indonesia, for up to 32 paraplegic residents of both sexes. The majority of the residents have disabilities from road or industrial accidents; some have suffered from polio. Wisma Cheshire provides a center for our residents to realise their full potential. We support educational programmes to help rehabilitate the residents, helping them learn new skills which enable them to seek employment and financial independence. The home is run by a committee of volunteers and employs some full time staffs.
