Spearheading Spaces that Empower

KPA SPACES

YASYA is our community-led intervention model delivering doorstep support to differently-abled individuals across Coimbatore. Founded in 2023, it ensures every neurodiverse person gets sustained attention, therapy, and a voice within society. It is a bridge to dignity and independence.

This is our vision project aimed at securing a life of safety and independence for neurodiverse adults beyond the lifetime of their caregivers. A space where every individual is celebrated for who they are, free of stigma, and filled with community support.

Our partnership with RAATAI has opened up avenues for students to participate in specialized arts and storytelling programs that promote communication, self-expression, and group interaction. From puppet-making workshops to sensory theatre sessions, RAATAI helps us nurture creativity and build confidence in unique ways.
