About us
Rehabilitation that reaches the last village
Since 1998, RPHCR has worked alongside persons with disabilities and their families in rural Chittoor District, Andhra Pradesh.
Started in the community, for the community
Rural Physically Handicapped Centre for Rehabilitation was founded in 1998 in Chittoor District, Andhra Pradesh, to respond to a simple reality: persons with disabilities in villages were being left out — of school, of work and of the government support meant for them.
Hospitals and rehabilitation centres were far away and expensive to reach. So we took rehabilitation to the village: identifying persons with disabilities door to door, providing therapy and assistive devices at home, helping children enrol in school and supporting adults to earn a living.
Today our office in Nallasiddanapalli (Bangarupalyam Mandal) coordinates programmes across the surrounding villages.
Our vision
An inclusive society where every person with a disability lives with dignity, independence and equal opportunity.
Our mission
To empower persons with disabilities in rural areas through community-based rehabilitation, assistive technology, inclusive education, livelihoods and access to rights.
Our values
Dignity first · Community ownership · Transparency and accountability · Inclusion of every disability, gender and caste.
Chittoor District, Andhra Pradesh
Our programmes focus on rural villages of Bangarupalyam Mandal and nearby areas of Chittoor District, where access to rehabilitation services is most limited.
