Sense International (India)

Sense International (India)'s vision is of a world in which all deafblind children and adults can be full and active members of society.

In 1997, when Sense International India first started its work, there was only one deaf-blind service in the country reaching out to just 23 children. But in the last two decades we have succeeded in reaching out to more than 77, 500 deafblind people and their families through a network of 59 partners across 22 states.
