The Free Press Journal|December 02, 2024

Mumbra's beacon of hope for the differently abled

"Surprisingly, I couldn't find a single special school even in a 15 km radius of Mumbra. And the schools that were far off had a waiting period of a few years," says Farid, who is an IT engineer.

This got him thinking about how many other children in and around Mumbra may be facing similar issues and the need for a sustainable solution. "That's when I decided to start the Ummeed Foundation in 2011 and set up Ummeed The Hope Free Special School under it," says the founder and the CEO.
