About TAF
Promoting Physical & Psychosocial Well-Being for People with Disabilities
Triggered by the acute lack of facilities and support available to People with Disabilities. Our Founder Tinkesh was faced with insurmountable challenges in his quest for basic human needs like the right to mobility and equal opportunities. People like his Mentor Sydenstrica, also a Founder with TAF helped him overcome these challenges and make a mark in the world. This inspired them to start TAF so they can give back to Society.
