Margadarshi The Association for Physically Challenged

Margadarshi The Association for Physically Challenged, was founded in 1988 by a group of polio survivors who wanted to create better opportunities for people with disabilities. Each year, the association reaches around 5,000 individuals and families through a variety of programs, including early intervention, medical rehabilitation, residential and educational support, livelihood training and counseling. The group works to remove physical and social barriers that limit opportunity, while helping people with disabilities build confidence, independence, and hope. Thanks to a contribution from Northern Trust, the association has been able to provide new equipment for patients like wheelchairs, hearing aids and spectacles.

"As a polio survivor, this customized wheelchair has restored my independence, comfort, and dignity, allowing me to move without pain and commute independently to work. I am deeply grateful for this life-changing gift, which was renewed my confidence and transformed my daily life."
