About NGO

‘Helpers of the Handicapped, Kolhapur’ works with a vision of making people with disabilities productive and self-supportive citizens leading fuller lives with dignity. To attain this vision, we provide all the necessary rehabilitation assistance for enabling persons with disabilities to attain and maintain their optimal physical, intellectual, psychological, economic, and social functional levels. We have created barrier-free infrastructure by way of school, hostel-cum-rehabilitation centers, and training centers at Shantinagar, Unchagaon (E), near Gadmudshingi, Tal. Karveer, Dist. Kolhapur for ensuring effective delivery of rehabilitation services in an ongoing manner.

Our major focus area is rural communities with a special thrust on women, children, and youth with disabilities. The strategy is to empower them through integration and rehabilitation. The enabling tools are inclusive education, vocational training, and healthcare regardless of their religion, caste, creed, or place of domicile.

After registering a person with a disability, we carry out their medical check-up and arrange for their corrective surgery, appliance as per medical advice. This improves their mobility and functional capacity.
