“I did not want to give up on my disabled son. I went from one school to the other, begging them to admit him, but all I got in return was sympathy. Finally, when I managed to get him admitted to a school, they sent him back within a month, saying that the parents of other students were complaining. But today, I look at him, and I feel proud. Thanks to Disha School, Prerak is excelling at studies. He has even won several national and state level medals in sports,” says Bhimsen Saini, proud father of a disabled child studying at the NGO Disha Foundation school.
However, the nonprofit founded by PN Kavoori (pic above), is struggling to keep the NGO afloat. Help the NGO to keep the doors of the school open and usher in a healthier and brighter tomorrow for underprivileged children with disabilities. Donate now.

Children with disabilities often face severe discrimination and are neglected by regular schools. The condition of disabled children from low-income families is even worse. The nonprofit Disha Foundation has been the only refuge for hundreds of underprivileged children with disabilities since its inception in 1995. By giving disadvantaged and disabled children education, therapy and skills training, the NGO has played a transformational role in the lives of these children.
Why Kavoori decided to start an NGO for disabled kids
Kavoori, all through her career as an educationist saw the need for a school for disabled children and in 1995 founded Disha Foundation.
“As the principal of a big English medium school, I would often be approached by parents of children with disabilities seeking admission for their kids.I saw how gifted most of these children were, yet I felt helpless as I could not give them admission. Moreover, no other institutions could give these children the kind of education and care they needed. I finally decided to quit my job. I reached out to as many people as possible to help me start a special school for children with disabilities and commenced Disha from a rented house,” said the founder of the nonprofit who died recently at the age of 94.
The need for a fundraiser
Kavoori prided her institution for having freed hundreds of children from the confines of their homes and wheelchairs. The NGO through various therapies has enabled children to stand on their own two feet and acquire skills and education they were deprived of.
With her work in the last few decades, Kavoori proved that children with special needs can have a successful and productive life, but their rehabilitation remains costly. Your contributions will enable Disha Foundation to offer underprivileged and disabled kids the best education even after the founder's demise. Your donations for this online fundraising effort will help the nonprofit support students realise their potential and have a brighter future.
Donate to this fundraiser by Give, India’s largest and most trusted online giving platform, to support Disha Foundation in giving underprivileged children with disabilities quality education, therapy and occupational training so they too can lead active and functional lives in future.

Pradyum's journey at Disha School is a shining example of how targeted support and dedicated coaching can transform lives. Since joining Disha in 2015, he has evolved from a reserved child into an all-rounder, with a notable passion for sports, particularly Table Tennis. His progression from learning the basics to excelling in national competitions, winning gold medals in almost every interschool event, reflects not only his hard work but also the effective guidance of Disha's Sports Department.
This transformation underscores the school's mission to nurture and develop the talents of children with disabilities. Disha Foundation, under the stewardship of 92-year-old PN Kavoori, has been a sanctuary for children like Pradyum, providing them with education, therapy, and the opportunity to pursue their passions. Despite facing financial challenges, the foundation continues to be a beacon of hope, empowering underprivileged children with disabilities to achieve their full potential.
However, the sustainability of this noble mission is at risk. The foundation urgently needs financial support to keep providing these vital services. Donating to Disha Foundation not only helps maintain a nurturing environment for children like Pradyum but also supports the broader goal of integrating disabled children into society, enabling them to lead active, fulfilling lives.
Your contribution can make a significant difference in the lives of these children, helping them transform challenges into triumphs. Support Disha Foundation in its endeavor to offer quality education, therapy, and skills training, and donate now!
