Welcome to Samadhan

Poverty brings together a heterogeneous mix of families surviving on daily wages and caught in the vicious cycle of lack of education, unemployment, malnutrition and consequent ill health. This situation coupled with paucity of services, are the main contributors to a disproportionately large number of intellectually disabled persons in low-income communities. SAMADHAN, a registered non-profit organization set up in 1981 in New Delhi, India, has as its dual purpose the betterment of this disregarded community, specifically children with intellectual disability and their mothers.

Our philosophy is that all persons with intellectual disability can be helped, if appropriate and timely services are available. Over the years, SAMADHAN has effectively transferred this philosophy into action and developed a viable model of service delivery, using locally available resources and materials. SAMADHAN's strategy is to link services for the intellectually disabled, with the needs of their mothers and of the women in the community.
