Kintsugi Foundationfor People Withdisabilities

You can find the Kintsugi Foundation For People With Disabilities over on Rander Road, specifically in the Morar Nagar Society. We're in units 65 and 66, right near the Diwali Baug Society. It's a nice, quiet street for the most part. We chose the name Kintsugi because we liked the idea of fixing things and making them stronger, even if they were broken before. We work with people who have disabilities, and it’s a lot of one-on-one time. Our office isn't anything fancy. We have some ramps and wide doors to make sure everyone can get in easily. It’s a bit of a squeeze sometimes when we have a group over, but we make it work. Most of us who work here have been in Surat our whole lives. We know the struggles people face around here. We don't use big words or fancy reports. We just talk to the families and see what they need, like help with equipment or just some advice. Sometimes the paperwork gets overwhelming, and we feel like we’re drowning in forms, but then someone comes in and reminds us why we’re doing this. It’s a local effort, through and through. We aren't trying to be the biggest foundation, just a helpful one for our neighbors in Gorat. Most afternoons you'll find us sitting around the big table planning out the next week's visits and phone calls.
