Vision / Mission
Provide free services to the elderly in every city of the world with a helpline in every spoken language powered by a leadership team and support staff comprising PwD (Persons with Disability).
The biggest opportunity for the organization right now is to win the SVP Fast Pitch competition and to enable Maya CARE to reach a much larger number of prospective donors and supporters/champions. This will help us move more rapidly towards our dream of serving the elderly in more cities and thus offering livelihood to a larger number of PwDs who need us.
INNOVATOR: We are continuously exploring new ways of overcoming hurdles in the path of PWDs being able to learn and grow and provide a sterling service for the elderly.
I came into Maya CARE as a recruit through Project Bindu supported by SVP Pune. With the continuous input, knowledge, learning, exposure and experience I have received since, I feel a shy person like me is transforming into someone the world is getting to know. The exposure of being encouraged to speak at public events across the globe has spurred the desire in me to spread Maya CARE’s wings in every city. It is now my dream. And as my life changed as I learnt, I am keen to mentor others to overcome their disabilities too and become professionals and future leaders.
