The Means Welfare Society (MWS), a non-profit organization, was launched in December, 2018 by the passionate individuals who due to limited support and resources available locally, realized a need for a platform for those with Autism & Slow learners.

MWS understands the needs of individuals with Autism & Slow Learners and their loved ones and so from the moment a family with a child with Autism & Slow Learner is introduced to us, MWS embarks on a journey with them, until they feel empowered, included and equal members of society.
