What is Helen Keller Institute for Deaf and Deafblind ( HKIDB)

Helen Keller Institute for Deaf and Deafblind started the first Residential facilities in India for children and adults with Deafblindness/MDVI from outside Mumbai. In 2000, the School moved to Navi Mumbai but not all the students were able to move due to physical disabilities like cerebral palsy and financial restraint especially since majority of the families are from lower socio-economic status. Thus the Byculla Outreach programme was started in September 2004 and the Chembur Outreach programme in July 2013 to cater to the needs of these students.
