Abhiprerna Foundation was established in 2007 for the economic empowerment of women and upliftment of the weaker sections of society in Uttarakhand. Their main objective is to provide children who are suffering with mental and physical disabilities a place where they can overcome their limitations through care and guidance. The organization engages children in creative activities such as; dance, music, painting, and story-telling to strengthen their capacities.

The Foundation runs the Abhiprerna Rehabilitation Centre. The centre is for children under the age of 14 years who suffer from mental retardation, autism, cerebral palsy, and other disabilities. The organization conducts tests to diagnose physical disabilities and provides remedial measures through therapies and treatments. They aim to train parents about the special needs of their children and children to handle their disabilities through games and sports. They also educate children in various school subjects, teach them how to meet the needs of their everyday lives, and to become independent individuals.

Some of the major programs they focused on in FY15 were cultural activities, festivals, events, vocational training, mid-day meals for children and the rehabilitation program. Other programs conducted during the year were camps, awareness programs, counselling and guidance sessions and teacher’s welfare and Teachers training programs.
