Profile

MBA (Mutually Beneficial Activities)
Foundation

It is a Public Charitable trust started by a group of like-minded people in the year 2002 to help youngsters and adults with different disabilities, with the required rehabilitation services. A Board of trustees consisting of parents, rehabilitation experts and corporate experts guide the activities of the centre in the areas of rehabilitation, finance and administration.

Our beneficiaries are called G.O.D.S’
(Groups of disabled)
Starting initially with one centre in Chembur, the organization grew fast as per the needs of other suburbs like Powai, Thane & Gorai. With our own building coming up in Airoli, these all have been consolidated in this building , since 2016. Our Airoli Centre called “GODS ABODE” is equipped with all infrastructure facilities as well as trained staff required for all the rehabilitation services of the disabled.

One Community based Rehabilitation centre is in Powai - GODS' HEAVENS. It concentrates on Early Childhood Development & Prevocational Training.
Most of the beneficiaries are from underprivileged background.

The Foundation now provides services to more than 150 Beneficiaries who are affected with various types of Disabilities, like Physical Disabilities, Cerebral Palsy, Intellectual disability, Austism, etc.

We provide all facilities under one roof in Airoli

Working at the Spastics Society of India, Mumbai since 1992, as Executive Director- Training , she found the urgent need for a total road map towards “a Life with Self Esteem and Dignity” for people with disabilities. Thus she founded MBA Foundation in 2002, with solid support of her husband, Balasubramanian.
