The Organization

DEEDS stands for Development, Education, Empowerment of the Disadvantaged in Society. The organization was established in 2003, and is committed to helping hearing and speech impaired children.

It began as a mission of 10 friends who set out to empower children who are handicapped and to help them become contributing members in society. Today, the people who are behind DEEDS are all like-minded people with a mission, mainly committed to providing a platform for these children and work towards their progress and employment.

At present, DEEDS endeavors to play a more active role in reaching out to the marginalized by helping fund deserving projects and ensuring that there is a better future for the under privileged.

The focus of DEEDS is to provide support in more ways than one to NGO's that work with the hearing impaired in Mumbai. There are 19 such organizations in Mumbai and 31 in Maharashtra. One of its main projects is Bajaj Institute of Learning (BIL) in Dehradun.

DEEDS also takes care of the mental and physical health of these handicapped children. In addition to checking the levels of hearing impairment, the child also undergoes regular medical check-ups.
