About:
My name is Aditya Nitin Rajyagor, and I am raising funds for Ummeed Child Development Center, a Mumbai-based NGO that has spent 25 years helping children with developmental disabilities like cerebral palsy, autism, Down syndrome, ADHD, and learning disabilities reach their full potential.
In India, over 5 crore children live with or are at a higher likelihood of a developmental delay or disability, yet the ratio of trained professionals to children in need is just 1:350. Early identification and timely support can change a child's entire life trajectory, but too many families don't know where to turn.
Since 2001, Ummeed has directly cared for 16,400+ children and reached more than 7,30,000 children through trained professionals, teachers, and health workers. Fund INR 10,000, for example, and transform the lives of 4 children.
I have seen what the right support can mean for a family: a child who was once excluded from school went on to become a class monitor. Your contribution will help fund concessional clinical care, early intervention training, and inclusive classrooms, so more children can be seen, supported, and given the future they deserve.
