Mrs. Sulo Krishnamurthy <br>
President - Handi-Care Intl., <br>
Director -Assistive Technology at Amar Seva Sangam</p>		
		<ul style="line-height: 200%; text-align: Justify;"><li>Sulo Krishnamurthy, is the founder of Handi-Care Intl. and serves as the President. A graduate with Masters in Chemistry and Microbiology, Sulo worked in pharmaceutical research for 19 years in Canada (1972- 1991). Her family back ground and her upbringing by her parents, especially her father, shaped her vision and mission in life. She grew up with 2 siblings afflicted with degenerative Muscular Dystrophy. Both of them were rendered to wheelchairs even at a young age. In spite of their physical limitations, they were both determined to study well and make careers for themselves. Their father was the mentor, the force behind every success they achieved. Sulo’s brother Sankara Raman went on to complete his CA, winning over a court order to be admitted to the CA studies, which was denied to him.</li><li>After establishing a successful practice, he relinquished it to serve the poor rural disabled children and youth and joined Amar Seva Sangam in rural Tamil Nadu in 1992. Soon after Sulo joined the mission with her brother, resigned from her job and started Handi-Care Intl. (HCI). HCI was registered in 1992, as a Canadian registered charity and started supporting Amar Seva Sangam’s (ASSA) initiatives to educate, rehabilitate, train and empower the disabled persons from poor families. Started with 25 children in 1992, 26 years later ASSA is serving over 20,000 children, youth and adults with disabilities currently and has spread its wings to over 800 villages in the rural area.</li><li>HCI is a major stake holder of ASSA’s projects and contributed close to 6 million dollars towards their various projects, focusing on Early Intervention, Special education, Vocational training. Sulo’s vision, mission and passion is to empower these children and their families with education, training and values so they can lead respectable lives and earn a living. In 31 years, HCI has hundreds of success stories of children who were trained and now employed, married with children and leading a respectable life and are living examples of HCI’s motto: “With strong conviction, any disability can be transformed to ability”.</li></ul>
