Founded in 1996, GASS is a leading organization working for persons with disabilities (PWDs) in Bangalore Rural and Urban, Chikkaballapur, Tumkur, Kalaburagi, Chamarajanagara, and Kolar districts.

We work across key social development sectors—Health, Education, Livelihoods, Protection, and Environment—reaching vulnerable groups such as children, women, youth, and senior citizens from marginalized communities.

​

GASS partners with diverse funding agencies and is a trusted collaborator of the Government of Karnataka, implementing programs for the protection and care of children, women, and senior citizens in difficult circumstances. These include an Emergency Care and Relief Center (ECRC) for people with mental health conditions, shelters for senior citizens, and short‑stay homes for women. We also work with leading corporate partners through CSR initiatives and maintain international collaborations for theme‑based interventions.

​

In addition, GASS functions as a hub for research, training, and field‑based learning, hosting interns and students from universities in India and abroad. Under the guidance of experienced professionals, they gain hands‑on experience and practical insights through structured field practice programs.
