Appeal

Ummeed Child Development Center is a not-for-profit organisation that empowers children with developmental disabilities to reach their full potential and be included in society.
Founded in 2001, Ummeed works with children and families with diverse conditions such as autism, cerebral palsy, down syndrome, intellectual disability, learning disability, and more.
Their key areas of work include:
• Clinical services (diagnosis and therapy) for children with developmental disabilities and their families,
• Training, and capacity building (in individuals such as doctors, therapists, teachers, community workers and organizations such as schools, community-based organizations, etc.),
• Research (relevant to the field of child development and disabilities), and
• Awareness and advocacy (to change attitudes towards inclusion)
Their team includes professionals like developmental paediatricians, occupational and physical therapists, speech therapists, counsellors, social workers, autism intervention specialists, special educators, caregivers, and other experts.

Since inception, their direct overall reach is 15,500+ children through 1,52,000 therapy sessions and about 0.56 million children and families indirectly across India.

However, there are nearly 52 million children with developmental disabilities in India and hence Ummeed’s work remains critical. There is need for a larger number of skilled resources in the country that children and families can access.
I am running in support of Ummeed and I would love to have your help to raise funds for children with developmental disabilities. No donation is big or small and the amount raised will be used towards direct clinical sessions for children with developmental disabilities and their families, and training services to professionals and caregivers.
Give generously, I know I can count on you!
