KiliKili — Inclusive Play Spaces
Kavitha Krishnamoorthy started KiliKili because her son Ananth — who is autistic — lit up at the sight of swings but couldn't get on any. That absence became a mission: 10 inclusive parks across India.
A volunteer-driven trust formed by parents of children with special needs, creating inclusive public play spaces in collaboration with BBMP. Three inclusive parks in Bangalore: Coles Park (Frazer Town), Gayatri Devi Park (Rajajinagar), and MN Krishna Rao Park (Basavangudi). Also built specialised sensory parks and obstacle courses for autism-specific schools.
