Datin Sri Umayal Eswaran, Chairperson of RYTHM Foundation, was driven by a heartfelt desire to address the often-overlooked challenges children with special needs face. Her vision took shape in 2011 with the establishment of Taarana School, a sanctuary designed to transform lives and create lasting impact.
Under the aegis of the RYTHM Foundation—the social impact arm of the global QI Group—Taarana has become a beacon of hope and empowerment for children with cognitive and sensory impairments. More than a school, it is a vibrant space of inclusion where every child’s potential is nurtured and individuality celebrated.
Taarana provides a comprehensive and balanced curriculum tailored to meet the unique needs of its students. The school blends education, therapy, and skills development to support children whose impairments significantly affect their daily lives. Personalized learning plans ensure each student can develop confidence, independence, and essential life skills to face the future with conviction.
This ethos reflects Datin Sri Umayal’s mission to foster not only the growth of these extraordinary children but also greater awareness and acceptance within the broader community. Taarana empowers its students to reach their full potential by providing specialized education and therapies and cultivates an environment of inclusivity and understanding.
