Jai Vakeel Foundation

Jai Vakeel Foundation (JVF) is one of the largest and oldest non-profits in India serving Children and Adults with Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities (IDD). Founded in 1944, it is one of the first NGOs in India to be working in this space. With a holistic approach, JVF aims to integrate our students into mainstream society by providing them with Healthcare, Education, and Skill Development. Over the past 77 years, JVF has impacted the lives of lakhs of children and their families. As part of their healthcare interventions, JVF had initiated Rural Paediatric Neurological Medical Camps in interior Maharashtra, a decade back. These camps are held under the guidance of Dr. Anaita Udwadia Hegde who is also the Medical Director at Jai Vakeel. The camps have now grown into a multi-stakeholder initiative with Jai Vakeel Foundation and KamalUdwadia Foundation collaborating to play anchor roles.  Visit https://jaivakeel.org/index to know more about Jai Vakeel Foundation.
