Empowering Communities.
Meet Our CRPs

Chosen from the Community

CRPs are local women, often mothers or relatives of special children, bringing empathy and trust to every home they serve.

Trained to Transform

Equipped with professional training and guided by psychologists, CRPs deliver tailored education and support for each child.

Support at Your Doorstep

From neighborhood outposts to home visits, CRPs make care and resources accessible, building stronger, inclusive communities.

Educated. Trained. Committed. CRPs in Action

Meet our Community Resource Persons (CRPs) – dynamic individuals educated at least up to FA/Fsc level, and they’re not just your average community members – they’re active, motivated ladies on a mission! Trained by seasoned professionals, they’re passionate about making a difference in the lives of intellectually impaired children right in our neighborhoods.

Once equipped with the necessary skills, our CRPs spring into action. They scout for special children within a 2-3 km radius of their own homes, providing them with educational and training opportunities, all while being guided by experienced psychologists. But that’s not all – they’re the friendly faces you’ll find at our outposts, conveniently located hubs like welfare and health centers, schools, or even homes, making it easy for families to access support.

At these outposts, families gather for meetings with our CRPs, creating a warm, supportive community where everyone feels welcome. Plus, we provide referral services, ensuring that every child receives the comprehensive care they deserve. With our CRPs leading the charge, we’re transforming communities one step at a time!
