History

Samarthanam Trust is a pioneer in empowering people with disabilities and the underprivileged on various socio-economic-cultural fronts.

The history of Samarthanam had begun in 1997 when two visually impaired individuals with a vision to change the dynamics for people with disabilities in India had come together to lay the foundation for this pioneer organization.

Since 1997, the organization’s objective and drive started gathering support, leading to the establishment of Schools, Livelihood Resource Centres, Rehabilitation Centres, Social Enterprises and a Sports Association for the visually impaired, expanding its services to various geographies. More than two decades down the road, Samarthanam stands to be the umbrella organization standing by thousands of people with disabilities, underserved and women in distress.

Samarthanam advocates inclusion, equal opportunities, holistic development of the disabled and economically underserved.
