Inspired by their own brother's autism, Bobby and Juhi Ramani launched I Support Foundation :-
Shivam Ramani was born a normal child, but at the age of 3, he came down with typhoid and was struck by a rare but possible consequence of the infection which left Shivam autistic and non-verbal.In 2014, Bobby founded a small school for autistic children in Lucknow, providing them an environment for healthy development. Juhi joined as co-founder and later, it became a registered non-profit NGO called 'I Support Foundation' that works closely with underprivileged and special children's education. The aim is to help these children reach their highest potential, by supporting them and providing them with a platform to showcase their talent.
I Support Foundation has hosted an array of events and workshops.

Click-O-Click (Themed Eradication of Child Labour) –Activity for volunteers to observe and capture the real life picture with the theme – End child labour and importance of education.
I Support Foundation is not funded but any government or non-government body at the moment. Juhi's next inclusion to I Support Foundation is inspired from her family's struggle again. She's building a platform that will serve as a knowledge pool for parents of autistic children.
"It's just a beginning for us; it's a long cherished dream, an infinite march for welfare and rehabilitation." Juhi quotes Gandhi, and says, "Strength doesn't come from physical capacity. It comes from an indomitable will."
