India is changing, she is entering an age that many say will bring great prosperity. With the innumerate opportunities coming her way, we need to ensure that our Intellectually Challenged (commonly known as mentally retarded) youngsters partake of that growth, opportunity and prosperity. How can we get together and add value to their lives and make this a better world for them? By giving them Dignity and Equal opportunity. By helping them co-exist as one in the mainstream of society.
Learn together :

Volunteer as a corporate volunteer

INNOVATIVE REVENUE STREAMS
AMBA CEEICs are actively pursuing innovative revenue streams which help the Intellectually Challenged gain much needed financial stability and earn a better stipend/income. An excellent example of this is an arrangement with a leading mainstream organization, wherein AMBA CEEICs employees manufacture paper cups with the help of a machine, provided by the organization. The revenue model has been worked out such that the employees steadily increase their earnings over a period of time. The organization gets the paper cups at a fraction of the market rate, while giving these Intellectually Challenged individuals an opportunity to become self-sustaining; thus creating a win-win Situation.
