Special Educator

**About the Organization**:
Sol’s ARC is a registered NGO that has been working in the space of inclusion for the past 20 years. We work with the most marginalized group of individuals, those who have disabilities, mental illness, critical illness or are violence-affected to ensure they have equitable access to education and economic opportunities. Through a lifespan approach, we work towards our vision
- Every Child Learns, Every Adult Earns.

From working directly with individuals on margins to then partnering with some of India’s leading NGOs like Educate Girls, Teach for India etc., we now work at a systemic level through our partnerships with two state Governments, Madhya Pradesh and Tamil Nadu. Our growth over the last 6 years has helped us grow from a few thousand individuals to now a reach of over 4 million beneficiaries.
