Who We Are
Diya Foundation is a vocational training center that prepares young adults with intellectual challenges to enter India’s workforce. At Diya, we commemorate the joys of first paychecks and the satisfaction of self-reliance. Yet, behind these celebratory moments lies a hard truth—over 20 million individuals with disabilities encounter formidable barriers to employment, with fewer than one in three securing meaningful work. For a quarter of a century, Diya Foundation has pursued change through a comprehensive training program aimed at teaching life and trade skills to individuals with disabilities.
