Who we are

In 2015, Nayi Disha’s journey began with a core belief that family caregivers are the true changemakers in the lives of their children. For the past 10 years, we have been focused on building a thriving and evolving community and ecosystem where parents and caregivers are well-informed, guided and supported.

Our work tells the story of thousands of caregivers who have found strength, support, and solidarity in moments of confusion and isolation. It’s the story of children and adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDDs) whom we aim to keep empowering with better access to services, verified information, and awareness of their rights. It’s also the story of communities coming together, supporting each other and of professionals guiding with empathy and their expertise, and of ecosystems slowly becoming more inclusive.

Why work with US

ऑटिज़म, डाउन सिंड्रोम और अन्य विकासात्मक विकलांगताओं से प्रभावित बच्चों के माता-पिता को उम्मीद और सहयोग देना, जो उनकी प्राथमिक देखभाल करते हैं।

स्वास्थ्य और शिक्षा क्षेत्र के लोग, एनजीओ और अन्य परिवार आपस में जुड़कर एक मजबूत और विकसित इकोसिस्टम बनाना जिससे एक सक्रिय समुदाय बना सकें।

डिजिटल तकनीक और नई खोज के ज़रिए, पूरे देश में सरल और समझ में आने वाली भाषा में जानकारी पहुँचाना।
