Livelihood for 300 young people with disability

I am glad to make this report here with a submission that due to economical problems two of the staff involved in this project is not working for it. The fund which each of you have donated is not reached to us because of some issues with the Government. As there was no money to give as salary to the staff and to conduct programs we were able to reach to them through wage employment and self employment. we were able to send 100 YWD to different training centers. Three of our staff had gone to Hyderabad for the training to refresh themselves to work effectively. 

We are waiting for the disbursment of funds to take the project forward more effectively.
