Who We Are

Disha Jyoti is a USA-based 501(c)(3) public charity (EIN: 33-4048911) focused on helping underserved families and children in India, including those with intellectual and developmental disabilities. As funding grows, we hope to extend our support to underserved communities beyond India. When you support Disha Jyoti, you become a vital partner in creating opportunities, fostering inclusion, and building brighter futures for children and families who need it most.

Our Belief

We believe that every child and family—regardless of income, ability, or circumstance—deserves the opportunity to grow, learn, and thrive in a nurturing environment, with access to quality education, healthcare, early intervention, and the chance to live a full, meaningful life.

Why It Matters

Many families in underserved communities face overwhelming barriers to healthcare at every stage of life. Without access to timely care, these challenges can lead to delayed diagnoses, untreated conditions, and diminished quality of life. Children and families affected by intellectual and developmental disabilities face even greater obstacles, as specialized healthcare and educational resources are often scarce or inaccessible.

For children, the barriers extend beyond health to education — where lack of resources for school fees, books, and learning support can disrupt studies and limit future opportunities. By improving access to healthcare and education—including tailored support for those with intellectual and developmental disabilities—we help individuals and families build healthier, more empowered, and self-reliant futures.

Our Mission

Empower underserved families and children, with a special focus on those with intellectual and developmental disabilities, in India—and potentially beyond—by providing access to education, healthcare, comprehensive care, and essential resources. We illuminate paths toward dignity, inclusion, and lasting change.

Our Vision

A future where no child or family is left behind due to poverty, disability, or illness—a world where every young life and household has the opportunity to thrive through care, inclusion, and opportunity.
