 Currently our sponsorship stands at 78 children at Amar Seva Sangam, 46 children at Maithri & 4 at Nesam. Visit.... http://www.handicareintl.org/help/adopt.htm  to see the list of sponsored children at these organizations

  We started sponsoring very young children afflicted with disabilities in the year 1992. It takes approximately 12 to 15 years for each child to pass thru stages of rehab, schooling and life skills training until the child is either discharged or promoted to higher studies. You will be happy to note that in the past 17 years HCI has helped rehabilitate and discharge 20 children back to their communities or for higher education. All of them are employed or have started their own small scale business.

  Those of you who remember Mohamed Ali, for whose higher education as an artiste, we enacted his story in 2004 fundraiser, will be happy to hear that he has his won art studio “LIMRAA” in Tenkasi. There are several such heart warming stories.
