COMMUNITY BASED RESPITE
Who we are
GHARA is a Bengaluru based charity founded in 2009. We provide support services to empower those ‘forgotten’ individuals with intellectual disabilities and their families, from low socioeconomic backgrounds. Having worked within the disability sector in India, we at GHARA recognised that a combination of intellectual disability and poverty was near impossible to escape. Ever committed to breaking this cycle, GHARA provides individualised supports in the form of a day-care centre, therapy services, pre-vocational training, social and recreational activities, medication, equipment, and self-care skills to over 35 individuals and their families.
Our Founder, Athellia Dias

COVID-19 EMERGENCY RELIEF
We’ll get right to it: the impact of COVID-19 in India has been devastating for the most vulnerable. So GHARA has launched a new project to meet the disaster currently unfolding. This project is not just about disability, but survival.
We are organising emergency Food Packs, medical supplies and oxygen for as many people as we can across our network in Bengaluru, Mumbai and beyond.
Each day GHARA receives requests for help from individuals and organisations in urgent need of oxygen, medicine, and food. At GHARA, we are doing our best to respond to the need as the situation rapidly changes however, are reliant on the generosity of people like you to enable us to say YES to these requests.

GHARA means “home” in several indian languages
