"Shuktara was started in 1999 by UK-born David Earp after a visit to India. He was moved by the plight of the disabled street children he met there.
Many of the boys and girls who have come to live at Shuktara were abandoned or orphaned as young children surviving terrible hardships and discrimination of living on the streets and begging for scraps of food.
Because of their disabilities, they were written off as incapable of learning, developing as individuals or integrating into society. Their personalities and their potential were ignored.
The difference that a few years or even a few months at Shuktara makes is astounding. The boys and girls grow in every sense - physically, in confidence, in skills, in communication. Their personalities blossom, they begin to come to terms with their disabilities and to fulfil their academic potential."
