Force Behind This Movement

Every step has been important for me as it added to my experience as an individual. My profound goals have led to the person I am today. Serving almost 600 people who are Intellectually Disabled and 6000 underprivileged women, my passion keeps growing every day. My family has been my constant support and inspiration to my work.
