Spreading Smiles & Compassion Through Inclusive Education
The “Spreading Smiles & Compassion” initiative reflects KonarkAWWA’s long-standing commitment to empowering differently-abled children. Asha School, known for its therapy-based learning modules, currently offers physiotherapy, speech therapy, and vocational training.
