Disha Charitable Trust

Disha Charitable Trust is a voluntary organization based in Panaji (Goa, India.) The trust was formed in 1994 when a group of parents of mentally disadvantaged children, felt the urgent necessity to initiate an awareness programme in the field of mental retardation, and to have a permanent institution which would provide the emotional, educational, and conducive environmental needs, which play a key role in the rehabilitation and social integration of the mentally impaired individuals.
Disha Charitable Trust aims at teaching adaptive living skills necessary to decrease dependence of the mentally challenged individuals by incorporating motor, sensory, communication, social, personal and self help skills into activities of everyday life of the child.
