DAMAI was formed in 1998 and we are proud to say that it has made significant diferences in the lives of those who have approached us. Damai strives to bring the disabled back into the society and don’t want them to be seen as a burden to anyone including their own families.

The association set up in 1998 by two disabled persons,V.Murugeswaran, 39, and M.Manoharan, 54, has benefited more than 1,000 disabled persons in Malaysia through its activities. With the help of the disabled, about 300 disabled people who lacked self confidence and harboured negative outlook in life have been transformed into independent and confident souls.
