Empowering Lives: The Journey of Ashayen Foundation
In the heart of Kanpur, a beacon of hope shines for children and young adults with special needs. Ashayen, formerly known as The Spastics Centre, was born out of a profound desire by Mrs. Santosh Mahenderjit Singh and Mrs. Bimla Wig to create a world where diversely abled individuals can thrive. Since its inception in 1990, Ashayen has stood as a testament to the belief that every individual holds unique potential waiting to be unlocked.
