With Whom It All ​Began

Arunima Jacob

Every story is inspired by someone wonderful! And the unique individual behind Project Arunima, is Arunima Jacob. Arunima, or Runi, as she is fondly known, is a beautiful woman who also has Autism. Runi was born in 1980, and diagnosed in 1986, when very little was known about Autism. She was around 26 when her family realised they had to plan for her future, and that is how the seed for Project Arunima’s Assisted Living Center was sown. She has touched and continues to touch many lives even today.
