Client Testimonials‘I have had the good fortune of not just associating with AMBA but also empaneling AMBA as a service provider to carry out Data Entry work for Tata Teleservices Limited (TTL). They had earlier been handling receipt printing, mailing and dispatch for Karnataka Circle for three years. The experience in both cases surpassed our expectations. AMBA has proved that given the right environment and specialized interventions, it is possible to make even people with intellectual disabilities self-assured, earning members of society.

Sangeeta Robinson, DGM Corporate Affairs and Sustainability Tata Teleservices LtdWe have checked the data entry done by the AMBA team for Chapters in 1970.

AMBA CentresThe AMBA Core Centre is the model centre that researched and developed the AMBA Concept and Learning Curriculum. AMBA has over the years conceptualized a solution within the different challenges that come within the different levels of developmental disorders and ability.  The Curriculum was developed in April 2007

AMBA Partner Centres : We have our presence in 83 centers across 16 states impacting over 3200 Adults.

Each Center caters to around 20 Intellectually disabled adults and has the potential to make each Data Operator economically independent in a period of 2 years. Each centeralso has the potential to scale to 100+ adults in a periodof 5 years. We have taken live work to 12 centers successfully.

The concept of Peer (other adults with intellectual disability) training and Supervision evolved in December2007 and opened a whole new world of possibilities and self-sustenance. Intellectually challenged adults joining AMBA, benefit from learning and working around their peers, helping with their development and state of well-being.

Scope for scaling AMBA throughPartner Centres across India

*Our target is to complete training for at least another 300/500 collaborative centres by 2018/20 with each centre having the capacity to enable at least 100 adults within their vicinity. Building Catalysts to scale beyond AMBA in continuity
