Twenty-five years, in numbers
The Position Paper is Manovikas Charitable Society's own account of its first twenty-five years: what it set out to do for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities, what it built, whom it reached, and how it is governed. These pages carry the figures from the paper so that families, colleges, funders and evaluators can read them in a few minutes.
Manovikas started in 1997. This page shows what we did in 25 years, in simple numbers.
