Running Every Loop for Those Who Cannot See or Hear

Why This Cause Matters?


500,000 people in India are unable to both see as well as hear

95% of what we learn is through our sight and hearing. But with both of these senses impaired, children with deafblindness are unable to even walk or communicate even the most basic of emotions – such as hunger, thirst or pain. They live in isolation and neglect – being denied the right to medical care, education, social interactions and work that are taken for granted by most of us.

Sense India is the only national organisation supporting and advocating for better care through early intervention, customised education and livelihood opportunities for children and adults with deafblindness across India. Our work is transforming the lives of more than 80,000+ deafblind people from isolation and neglect to communication, interaction and self-esteem.

With the right tools—special education, assistive devices & accessible environments—these children can learn, express, and thrive.

Your contribution brings them one step closer to being seen, heard, and understood.

"Every single loop I run reminds me that with awareness and support, no child needs to be left in silence.”

- Amit Dada
