Our Story

Who we are

The Pragati Foundation is a beacon of hope and empowerment for disabled individuals, dedicated to promoting fairness and dignity in their lives. This charitable organization focuses on improving the quality of life for people with disabilities by providing essential mobility aids such as prosthetic legs, walking sticks, wheelchairs, and many other tools to enhance their independence and mobility.


Understanding that true empowerment goes beyond just providing physical assistance, the Pragati Foundation also works closely with government bodies to offer economic opportunities to disabled individuals. One of their key initiatives involves setting up small stalls at government-organized events and markets. These stalls allow people with disabilities to sell handmade products, crafts, or services, giving them the chance to earn an income, develop a sense of self-reliance, and build a sustainable livelihood.


Through this multi-faceted approach, Pragati Foundation ensures that disabled people not only have access to essential physical support but are also integrated into society with dignity and respect, fostering an environment where they can thrive and live fulfilling lives.
