Description

About Ummeed:


Ummeed, a premier non-profit organization for children with disabilities in India, supports children with developmental disabilities to reach their maximum potential and be included in society.

India has over 50 million children with disabilities under the age of 15.

With access to appropriate health, intervention, education, recreation, and livelihood services they can be supported to become participative members of society.

Today most of them have limited or no access to relevant knowledge and services as the number of organizations and professionals in the space are inadequate to meet the need.

To date, Ummeed has supported 14,000 children through direct clinical services and reached an estimated 0.35 million children through network partners that are enabled and trained by Ummeed.

Ummeed was founded in 2001 by Dr. Vibha Krishnamurthy, a developmental pediatrician.

Today, with a workforce of over 100 committed professionals, Ummeed's transdisciplinary approach works towards:


  • Supporting children in overcoming their disabilities through direct clinical services and helping families in their journey towards acceptance and empowerment
