Our purpose

More than care.
A pathway forward.

CRD is a charitable institution of the Church of South India, South Kerala Diocese, committed to the total rehabilitation of children and persons with disabilities.

What began in April 1974 with five polio-affected children has grown into a multidisciplinary centre nurturing physical, intellectual, emotional, social and vocational development.

Our story

Rooted in compassion.
Growing through inclusion.

In 2002, the former Polio Home was integrated with the Cerebral Palsy Home and renamed CRD—a meaningful step towards a wider, more inclusive vision of rehabilitation.

Today, education, therapy, medical support, residential care and community outreach meet under one mission: helping every person participate fully in family and society.
