Founded in April 2020, Special Achievers aimed at transforming the lives of people with disabilities. Based in Faridabad, this NGO is led by the inspiring Ms. Madhvi Hans, a Gold Medalist in State Para Shooting Championship and a shining example of resilience and determination.
The Life That Inspired a Mission
Ms. Madhvi Hans’s journey is a story of courage, grit, and relentless hope. Born in 1976 in Hisar, Haryana, she dreamed of becoming an English lecturer. However, her life took a drastic turn in 2002 after a road accident that caused a spinal cord injury, leaving her wheelchair-bound. For two years, she battled not only physical pain but also the emotional toll of having her dreams seemingly shattered.
But Ms. Hans refused to let adversity define her. Through sheer willpower and rehabilitation, she rebuilt her life, finding solace in painting, contributing to her family business, and eventually pursuing athletics.
Her journey took her to the global stage, where she represented India in discus throw and shot put in 2016. Despite health challenges that forced her to pivot from athletics, she turned to air pistol shooting, where she won Gold Medals in 2017 and 2018 at the Haryana State Para Shooting Championship.
Her motto? “Kadmo ko rukna manzoor na tha, raahe aur bhi to hai.” (Stopping was never an option; there are always other paths to take.)
The Birth of Special Achievers
Inspired by her own challenges and triumphs, Ms. Madhvi Hans founded Special Achievers with a goal to create a world where people with disabilities can live happy, healthy, and meaningful lives.
This NGO gives hope, offering free consultations, guidance, and motivation to individuals with disabilities. Special Achievers is not just about addressing immediate needs—it is about encouraging people to overcome obstacles, achieve their dreams, and live fulfilling lives.
A Platform for Change
Special Achievers operates as a self-help group that tackles the unique challenges faced by people with disabilities. Their key focus areas include:
- Medical Consultancy: Sharing practical solutions to daily problems and preventive measures to avoid complications.
- Lifestyle Guidance: Helping individuals adapt to their new reality after disability.
- Emotional Support: Boosting morale and sharing success stories to inspire others.
- Skill Development: Providing resources and opportunities for individuals to become self-reliant.
With a dedicated team of volunteers under Ms. Hans’s leadership, Special Achievers, has already made a significant impact, especially among economically weaker sections and those in remote areas with limited access to resources.
The Bigger Vision
Special Achievers aims to become a one-stop platform for all the needs of disabled individuals. From healthcare to education and motivation, the organization is on a mission to make sure that no one feels left behind.
The founder’s story and the NGO’s work is a testimony that adversity can be a catalyst for positive change.
