Soulfree

Soulfree Positively-abled. A Public Charitable Trust for the empowerment of the severely disabled.

"Soulfree" is a charitable organization that was born out of a dream to provide hope for the severely disabled. After personally experiencing and also hearing about the stories of many paraplegics and quadriplegics – especially women – Preethi was moved to start Soulfree with the aim of setting souls free. This trust has been setup to spread awareness about spinal cord injuries, and enable those w

ith severe disabilities to have basic quality of life and lead a productive life with dignity and purpose. The trust aims to highlight the plight of people living with severe disabilities, especially women, in society, and encourage a more inclusive society. It also aims to bring to attention the lack of quality emergency medical care in India, and work towards creating awareness, resources and systems to optimize what is available in order to minimize further injury and death after an accident. Finally, the trust aims to raise funds in order to begin several awareness programs, quality of programs, employment opportunity programs, database building programs, and financial aid programs to assist the severely disabled.
