Samarthya is a non-governmental organisation working in the Koppal and Raichur Districts in the State of Karnataka. We began our work in 1989 using a community-based rehabilitation model, but now have three established clinical centres in these areas. We focus our efforts to reduce the incidence of disability and to build the capacity of communities and government resources to support the personal growth of people with disabilities. Samarthya works to improve the quality of life of people with disabilities, their parents and caregivers.
