Our Friends
Our "Friends" as our residents and trainees are referred to - are from pan India. All above 18, these wonderful adults have a second home at Arunima, where they live in different apartments and learn skills for maximum independence.
Every story is inspired by someone wonderful! And the unique individual behind Project Arunima, is Arunima Jacob. Arunima, or Runi, as she is fondly known, is a beautiful woman who also has Autism. Runi was born in 1980, and diagnosed in 1986, when very little was known about Autism. She was around 26 when her family realised, they had to plan for her future, and that is how the seed for Project Arunima’s Assisted Living Centre was sown. She has touched and continues to touch many lives even today.

Our young, dedicated and loving staff hail from Mussoorie, Dehradun, and neighboring areas. Some Special Educators, and some trained as Direct Support Professionals, the staff are part of Project Arunima's USP. They bring freshness, energy and much love to the program.
