An internship at Desilva Handicap Trust is more than an academic requirement—it’s an opportunity to gain hands-on experience while contributing to the lives of children and individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities.

For over 18 years, the Trust has been working to create an inclusive society where every individual, regardless of ability, is valued, respected, and empowered. Through our rehabilitation, education, therapy, and community outreach programmes, we strive to improve the quality of life of children and marginalized communities in and around Kotagiri.

At Desilva Handicap Trust, interns become active members of our team rather than observers. You’ll have the opportunity to participate in meaningful projects, engage with children and families, and understand the realities of inclusive education and community-based rehabilitation.
