Helpers of Handicapped, Kolhapur is a disability-rehabilitation organisation established in 1984, focused on rural children and women, aiming to help people with disabilities become self-supporting and live with dignity. It runs the Gharonda Hostel-cum-Rehabilitation Centre in Shanti Nagar, Uchgaon, Kolhapur — built in 1996 and housing around 110 male and female students, vocational trainees and staff — providing full boarding, medical aid, mobility appliances such as wheelchairs and calipers, school and college education, and vocational training. Vocational programmes include cooking, tailoring and embroidery for girls, and cashew processing and workshop skills for boys, with a training centre where physically challenged trainees manufacture tricycles, crutches, portable commodes and furniture. No independently verifiable primary website was found (only third-party directory/give.do listings), so the website field is left blank rather than guessed; for the same reason no impact figure is included (no own-domain source available).
