Help Launch India’s First Holistic Autism Learning Center

Donation protected
‍⚕️ A Project Led by a Family of Doctors

Myra Cares Foundation Dehradun is being launched by a compassionate and visionary family of four doctors, each with years of clinical expertise and a strong legacy of community care:
• A seasoned gynecologist
• A skilled eye surgeon
• A psychiatrist specializing in mental health and inclusion
• An orthopedic surgeon

Together, they are investing ₹20 crore (~$2.4 million USD) from their personal savings to fund:
• Land acquisition
• Full construction of a 20,000 sq ft facility
• Operations for the first three years

This ensures that the foundation launches with strength, heart, and sustainability.

What We’re Building

The Myra Cares Foundation campus will offer:
• Early Intervention Program (8 months–3 years): developmental play, sensory stimulation, and parent-child coaching
• Specialized classrooms for functional and academic learning
• Sensory therapy rooms and behavioral support spaces
• Vocational training for older children and young adults
• Music, art, physical activity, and play-based engagement
• On-site diagnostics, counseling, and family respite services
• Reverse socialization with neurotypical peers
• Programs accessible to all, regardless of income

✨ Shine Avi Learning Program: Raising the Learning Bar

The Shine Avi Learning Program will be the core model implemented within the foundation, offering:
• Individualized instruction based on how neurodiverse minds learn best
• Social-emotional development, communication skills, and independence training
• Structured learning tools and inclusive teaching practices
• A high-expectation environment where children are seen for their potential—not their diagnosis

This model proves that children with autism can learn deeply when taught with respect, care, and the right support.
Where Your Contributions Will Go

The Nawani family has already covered the major costs of 20 Cr Now, your support will help equip the center with world-class tools that are not easily available in India.

Funds raised through this campaign will be used to:
• Purchase evidence-based learning, therapy, and sensory materials from the United States
• Include resources like visual aids, fine motor tools, AAC devices, adaptive furniture, and more
• Professionally pack and ship these materials to Dehradun, ensuring every child receives high-quality, structured learning support

Your donation will directly impact classrooms, therapy spaces, and the daily experience of children and families we serve.
Where Your Contributions Will Go


Sustainability Plan

Following the first 3 years (fully funded by the founding family), Myra Cares Foundation Dehradun will be supported through:
• Government and public health grants
• Corporate CSR programs
• Institutional and global donors
• Ongoing community sponsorship and crowdfunding


Be a Part of This Movement

This is more than a center. It’s a promise.

A promise that neurodiverse children will no longer be sidelined.
That they will have access to real education, dignity, and a future.
That we will raise the bar, not lower it.

Your support will help us build not just a building—but a better world for neurodiverse children in India. Please donate and share.

Together, let’s make Myra Cares Foundation Dehradun a reality.
