Shama Foundation, in collaboration with PDUNIPPD New Delhi, proudly participated in the International Purple Fest Goa 2025, held from 9th to 12th October 2025. Guided by the theme “Enabling Life – Touch and Tech,” the Foundation showcased how compassion and innovation can unite to empower children with disabilities through inclusive technology and human connection.
At Shama Foundation, we believe that every child is able, just differently. Our participation centered around the synergy of empathy and innovation —
Touch through early intervention, sensory integration, and aqua therapy, and Tech through internationally benchmarked therapeutic tools, indigenous assistive devices, and ISO-certified health-tech innovation aligned with the Make in India initiative.
Together, these principles form our mission to enable lives with dignity, independence, and inclusion.
