SUPPORT in the name of ROH has been established in the year 1993 by an initiative of a group of teachers and officers some of whom are disabled with an objective to uplift the lives of disabled and marginalized sections of society. Mr. Nimton and Mr. Abshalam who have long struggled in their childhood for being blind and belonging to the backward community in the society came long way countering the difficulties to become teachers in Govt institution. They have also vast experience gathered from working in AMG International, an American organisation working for development of poor in India for being associated with it for around six years.
The able guidance of Sri. Z.V. Prasad, Ex-Deputy Director of Disabled Welfare, Govt. of AP and Sri. Y. Krupanandam, Asst. Director, National Institute for Visually Handicapped (NIVH), Dehradun has made the organization to take shape. ROH is a pioneering organisation with its innovative approaches for developmental efforts for disabled and rural poor and is working with commitment for the development underprivileged, irrespective of gender, creed, cast, class or ethnicity. SUPPORT is a member of various networks like World Association of NGOs (WANGO), Credibility Alliance – a network of NGOs in India who promote transparency and accountability in voluntary by following a set of defined norms and Giveindia which can be found at www.giveindia.org/roh/rel_profile.htm
