In 2004, Reeta Saxena started Prateek Special School in Nangloi, West Delhi, for children nobody else would teach. Twenty-two years later, Prateek gives children with autism, Down syndrome, cerebral palsy and other disabilities 1:1 education, speech therapy, physiotherapy, daily meals and free transport, all under one roof. We have never received government funding.
Then our campus flooded. Water reached the lift, the physiotherapy room shut down, and 55 of our 65 children had to stay home. For many of them, school is the only place they get therapy, a hot meal and friends.
We are building a permanent, flood-safe school. On 28 September 2025 we held the Bhoomi Poojan for the new building at Kunwar Singh Nagar, Nangloi. Now we need your help to build it.
What the new building gives:
- A raised, flood-safe building, so classes and therapy never stop again
- Proper rooms for physiotherapy, speech therapy and vocational training
- Space for the 150 children on our waiting list, who can't join today because we have no room
Honour someone you love: donors can have a loved one's name placed on a plaque in golden letters inside the new building.
Every donation is tax-exempt under Section 80G. We send your 80G receipt after you donate.
Prateek's work has been recognised by former President Ram Nath Kovind, has won 70+ awards, and has been covered by Dainik Jagran and Amar Ujala. Watch our story and see the children for yourself: prateekspecialschool.in
