Governance
Recall
At GRIRR, we strive to build a strong reputation with all stakeholders— patients, families, funders, employees, and partners. We aim to be known for trust, respect, and ethical standards, empowering children with disabilities, providing effective therapy, being a responsible community provider, managing funds reliably, and offering career growth to staff.
Focus
We remain committed to providing therapy to children with disabilities, expanding our expertise and presence in this area. Our goal is to be recognized as a specialist NGO that advances patient care and outcomes within our field.
Long-term vision
At GRIRR, we plan for the long-term, investing in professional recruitment, hardware fabrication, and forward thinking infrastructure like research and development, ensuring sustainable growth and impact.
Process-driven
We have strengthened our processes, systems, and documentation to ensure accountability. With an audit-driven approach, we provide transparency in fund usage, and our FY 24 audit showed no qualifications, enhancing credibility with our donors.
Balanced approach
When faced with an accounting treatment that requires interpretation, we would rather take a conservative view so that our books are a faithful indication of what actually exists.
Culture of austerity
Efficient space use
GRIRR works out of only 800 sq. ft., which comprises therapy areas, administrative space, meeting room and workshop. Within this space, GRIRR provides numerous rehabilitation services and therapies. Virtually every square inch has been productively used at the NGO.
Affordable appliances for all
At GRIRR, patients access essential appliances like Ankle Foot Orthoses at a fraction of the market price. While AFOs typically cost around ₹18,000 elsewhere, GRIRR provides them for ₹3,000. Even the most expensive appliance at GRIRR is capped at ₹12,000. This affordability is achieved by charging only for the cost of materials; no profit is costed into the product.
Inexpensive therapy
Therapy services at GRIRR are affordable for all. While centers charge ₹800 per physiotherapy treatment lasting an hour, GRIRR offers a range of therapies for ₹13 per day.
Financial discipline
GRIRR’s financial discipline is reflected in the saying – ‘Jo item ke liye paisa hai, usi item head ke under jana chahiye’. This indicates that funds allocated for a specific purpose must be used only for that purpose. This disciplined approach ensures that donor grants are used transparently, preventing misallocation.
Collective celebration
GRIRR’s cost-economy is reflected in day-to-day activities. Child patients who share the same birth month celebrate their birthdays collectively on a single day towards the month end. This has helped minimize costs without compromising the celebration.
