Empowerment

SAATHI believes that empowering people with special needs and their caretakers with knowledge is imperative for their sustained progress.

Accordingly SAATHI provides learning opportunities across a variety of subjects related to special needs including awareness, diagnosis and active management.

This is done through seminars, conferences and workshops conducted by experts in the relevant fields, drawn from local and international organizations.

SAATHI shall also provide a help line and respite care for parents of children with special needs as a community service.

Opportunities

People with special needs, much like their typical peers excel in several areas of art, music, entertainment etc. but are often not provided adequate opportunities to showcase their talents.

SAATHI strives to provide organized forums that showcase their abilities to a wide audience in the society, thereby enhancing their self esteem.

This is done through a variety of family centered entertainment activities including concerts, fun fairs, carnivals, festive gatherings and other events.

Projects

SAATHI shall also conceive and engage in projects in association with international/local institutions to enhance local availability of expertise & facilities. These projects may be executed through strategic partnerships with international bodies.
