"I never thought my child would be able to get out of his bed, but now he is walking around the neighbourhood. I know that sending my child to Anugrah means that he is going to be loved and helped. "
– Parent of an Anugrah child
The Difference Anugrah is Making
Life with a Disability in India
The family is under significant financial distress. There are tremendous stigmas. Mothers are blamed for the disability, fathers are often absent, and children may be considered a burden. Avenues for opportunity and inclusion are extremely limited, and people are at risk of being neglected.
A Ray of Hope
Anugrah has stepped into this challenge to provide a range of services aimed at caring for families and raising awareness in the community. We work directly with people with disabilities, treating them with dignity to create opportunities and improve their quality of life.

People with Disabilities
6% of the 340,000 population of the Vikasnagar and Sahaspur blocks in Dehradun district have disabilities

Children and Adults Served
Only 2% of the 20,400 people with disabilities in the Vikasnagar and Sahaspur blocks in Dehradun district receive help
We Need Your Help
Lack of Early Intervention
75% of a child’s development occurs in their first three years.
When children do not have sufficient resources during this time, it has permanent implications for their long-term health and mobility. The number of children in this region who need our help is staggering.
Burden on the Families
Families with a child with disabilities are often under significant strain
Without the support of our programs, this can lead to abuse or abandonment of the child with disability. It can also affect healthy siblings who may be forced into child labor and trafficking.
Societal Stigmas
Raising community awareness and working to include children with disabilities in mainstream schools is an urgent need.
Children with disabilities face stigmas that can substantially limit their access to education and impede their ability to contribute and have a valued role in society.
How You Can Help

"The work Anugrah does has a deep and lasting impact in the lives of countless families. I have experienced first hand how deeply grateful families are - not just for the services they receive, but for being treated with love, care, and dignity. I cannot think of a better cause to support. Anugrah is made up of the most dedicated people I have ever come to know."

Come volunteer with us and transform lives
"The Anugrah team is doing incredible work to support people with disabilities. Having been able to volunteer my time on two separate occasions has been an incredibly rewarding experience. First working together to create a strategic plan, and then a website, has left me wanting to do more to support the work Anugrah is doing and I’m excited to see what the next volunteer opportunity will be."

"When I heard about the inspiring opportunities Anugrah was providing to kids with disabilities, I never imagined how impactful it would be to see it in person. Every child wears the biggest smile on their face, and every staff member and volunteer shows the utmost heart. Everyone is truly happy here, and the positive impact on the children's and families' lives is immediately evident. Thank you, Anugrah, for all that you do!"
