Muskaan is a story of a collective will, determination, and unwavering optimism. It is an adult training center for persons with intellectual challenges located in New Delhi, India.
Muskaan was founded in 1982, to fill a severe social need for an organization that would enable individuals with intellectual challenges to realize their full potential and learn to advocate for their rights. Its core mission is to create acceptance and understanding of intellectually challenged persons in the larger population.
Muskaan’s main projects include adult training and employment, family support services, awareness and advocacy for their human rights, and maintenance of a safe and dignified life after the demise of their parents. Muskaan has greatly impacted the lives of both students and the community.
Muskaan India, Inc. is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization founded in 2011. We work to build awareness, foster partnerships, and generate support for Muskaan’s mission of inclusion and opportunity. Over the years, we have hosted a variety of fundraisers in the DMV area — from restaurant and bar events to open houses and even a 5K/1K Walk in 2019. Muskaan’s work is recognized worldwide, and we are deeply grateful for the incredible community of supporters who have stood with us along the way. We truly appreciate your continued interest in supporting our mission.
This video highlights the inspiring work of Muskaan and the remarkable potential of its students. Through creative learning, skill-building, and daily life activities, each child gains confidence, independence, and pride. With the right support, every child can thrive — and this is their celebration.
