About Jai Vakeel Foundation
Founded in 1944, Jai Vakeel Foundation (JVF) is one of the oldest and largest not-for-profit institutes in India serving children and adults with Intellectual Disability (ID). JVF is committed to looking at each child with a belief in their potential to lead fuller and more inclusive lives. From teaching students daily activities of daily living to obtaining employment, it serves the entire spectrum of ID ranging from the ages of 3-50 years. …
JVF’s approach is holistic; it aims to integrate students into mainstream society by providing Healthcare, Education, and Skill Development. So far, it has impacted over 1 lakh lives, provided 21,000 children with free therapy through rural camps, and trained 2,600 special educators from over 475 schools across 36 districts in Maharashtra through Disha Abhiyan. In our 80th year, we aim to work towards our larger vision of inclusion of all individuals with ID by fostering meaningful conversations, changing perspectives, and building awareness through the Third International Conference on Education (ICE3).
