Together we help every child thrive
Mitra for Life powers community-based care, therapy, and inclusion for children with developmental disabilities across urban and rural Karnataka.
Our Impact
When a community is empowered, families are supported and children Thrive.
The gap & our approach
Families travel hours or go without care, because services aren’t nearby. Our circle-of-care model brings holistic healthcare, allied therapies, and parent training into communities—so children get care early, often, and close to home.
