Muskaan is built on collective will, determination, and unwavering optimism. Founded in 1982 in New Delhi, Muskaan was created to fill a critical gap in services for adults with intellectual disabilities—providing the training, advocacy, and community support needed to help each person realize their full potential.

Today, Muskaan operates as a comprehensive adult training and vocational center, empowering individuals through skill development, meaningful employment, and sustained family support. Our work extends beyond training, promoting awareness, strengthening human rights, and fostering a broader culture of acceptance and inclusion.

Muskaan’s programs have transformed countless lives and strengthened the community as a whole.

We are honored to celebrate 40 years of Muskaan, and we invite you to join us for a special Gala on May 2, 2026.

Muskaan India, Inc. is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization founded in 2011. We work to build awareness, partnerships, and support for Muskaan’s mission. We are hosting our first Muskaan Smiles Forever Gala and hope you will join us—on May 2 and beyond—in building a more inclusive, dignified, and empowered future for all.

Your donations, sponsorships and ticket purchases directly support Muskaan’s life-changing work and help ensure that individuals with intellectual disabilities continue to receive the opportunities, dignity, and support they deserve.
