DIWA is a Community based organization born from tragedy, resilience, and hope. It was founded in 2013 by a brave woman whose life was forever changed in April 2010 after a devastating road accident. The accident left her with a physical disability and claimed the life of her 3.5-year-old daughter.
In the midst of unimaginable grief, she slowly came to accept her new reality. She registered as a person with a disability and began to rebuild not just her life, but her purpose. The pain of losing her child, coupled with the overwhelming support her family received from the community, became a powerful driving force.
That love and kindness lit a fire in her heart a desire to give back. DIWA was created to honor that spirit, offering support, empowerment, and a sense of belonging to others navigating similar paths. Today, the organization stands as a symbol of healing and strength, deeply rooted in the power of turning pain into purpose..
