THE SPINAL FOUNDATION

The Spinal Foundation is an India Self-Help Group for persons with spinal cord injury. We have recorded instances of spinal cord injury (SCI) for more than 60 years now. Several small groups / individuals have been working to support persons with SCI in different parts of India. There has, however, been no concerted effort to push for improved quality of life for persons with SCI at a national level. As an umbrella organization, The Spinal Foundation seeks to combine efforts, be more effective, improve reach, have unified voice for advocacy, share best-practices and address the daunting challenges faced by persons with SCI, especially those who are also economically challenged, and living in rural areas.
