The Association of People with Disability (APD), India is a non-governmental organisation that’s transforming the lives of underprivileged people with disability since 1959. Based in Bengaluru, Karnataka, we run extensive programs in rural and urban Karnataka to enable, equip and empower children and adults with a range of disabilities including locomotor, spinal cord injury, speech and hearing, cerebral palsy, and to some extent, mental issues. 

Till date, we have impacted 500,000+ lives of people with disability with our lifecycle approach - early intervention, education, livelihood, rehabilitation, capacity building, and facilitating access to entitlements. We also develop strategic partnerships with NGOs (especially local), government, corporate and other bodies to augment the reach of our programs. We work closely with government at various levels to influence policy.

We plan to reach out to 1,31,100 children and people with disability in 2018-21. Join hands with us!
