To provide a quantum leap for the welfare and rehabilitation of children whose only fault is to have been born without normal faculties.

Tamana is a non-profit voluntary association registered in March 1984, created solely with the purpose of helping the cause of developmentally disabled and minimal brain damaged children. Tamana literally means a longing, an aspiration. The association could not have been more aptly named, for at its heart lies an earnest longing, a lifelong aspiration to see such children on their feet as happy, useful, integrated members of the society. Since its inception, the organisation has come a long way in supporting and serving multiply handicapped children. It has now acquired the reputation and goodwill of being a dedicated NGO providing selfless service to the society in its own way. Tamana has now developed matchless expertise in handling special kids and developing them into normal, independent, confident citizens, capable of serving the society and the nation in almost the same way other citizens do.
