About Us

The Caregiver Trust is a Public Charitable Trust, (Regd. No. 2786 dt. 14.8.2001) registered under the Income Tax Act. It has been set up by a group of parents, who are also members of Bodhayan, a registered parents' association representing their mentally challenged children. Caregiver Trust is a shining example of their passionate commitment and farsightedness.
Parenting a special child is a special experience. It is rich in the purest of emotions and devoid of the frills and facades of mundance social existance. Yet, parents will not be there forever. Tinni's Baba and Ma will eventually grow old, infirm and incapable of looking after some of her basic needs. The Caregiver Trust tries to address this principal parental anxiety 'what after us?' Tinni (and many like her) must be given a secure, long term future in a community of like-minded people, where each can take care of other. But the process of adaption to new surroundings must begin before the parents have departed.
