About Jai Vakeel Foundation: 

 

In India, over 28 million people—one in every 50—has Intellectual Disability (ID). In spite of this colossal number, persons with ID are often stigmatised, are considered less deserving, and are unable to access the resources needed to achieve their full potential. Within the disabilities space, ID seems to be the most invisible. They continue to be excluded from India’s mainstream development narrative, experiencing widespread violations of their rights.

Founded in 1944, Jai Vakeel Foundation (JVF) is one of the oldest and largest not-forprofit institutes in India serving children and adults with ID. JVF is committed to looking at each child with a belief in their potential to lead fuller and more inclusive lives. From teaching students daily activities of daily living to obtaining employment, it serves the entire spectrum of ID ranging from the ages of 3-50 years. JVF’s approach is holistic; it aims to integrate students into mainstream society by providing Healthcare, Education, and Skill Development.
