Uniquely Me
India's First Children's Day for the Specially-Abled
“I Am Different; Not Less”
“Uniquely Me” is the flagship initiative of the Centre for Empowerment & Enrichment (CEFEE), focused on celebrating and empowering children with special needs through inclusive, large-scale, high-impact events. With the motto “I Am Different; Not Less”, this project breaks social barriers and gives children with disabilities the platform, confidence, and recognition they deserve.
It is also a first-of-its-kind in India—a full-fledged Children's Day celebration exclusively for the specially-abled, started in Kerala and now gathering national attention.
Where We Work
CEFEE currently implements the “Uniquely Me” project across three major districts of Kerala:
- Ernakulam
- Thiruvananthapuram
- Malappuram
In each of these regions, we collaborate with local schools, community organizations, volunteers, and families to identify children and provide them with a transformative experience.
Scale & Reach
The initiatives have demonstrated significant impact and outreach across multiple regions:
- Over 1,200 children with special needs participate in the most recent event held in Ernakulam.
- In Trivandrum, more than 750 specially-abled children take part in a combined programme — Uniquely Me and Jyothi.
- A one-day event in Malappuram bring together over 350 children, featuring the Central Government's flagship initiative, BetiBachao, BetiPadhao, aimed at empowering the girl child.
- To ensure sustained engagement and long-term impact, monthly and bi-monthly programmes are organized throughout the year.
- These efforts have indirectly reached thousands of family members, caregivers, and volunteers, amplifying the initiative's positive influence within communities.
