Support children and persons with Disabilities

Challenge

Persons with disabilities (PwDs) live a very challenging life. Due to lack of awareness, our target PwDs have not availed assistive devices and other rehabilitation services. Treatable impairments are ignored due to inability to access medical facilities. Children with sensory, motor, intellectual disability have no access to specialized care and are often found out of school. Youth/ adults are unemployed due to lack of education and skill training.

Solution

We will distribute assistive devices like wheelchairs, calipers, crutches, prosthesis, hearing aids, others. We will provide medical therapy and rehabilitation services and also facilitate access to secondary/ tertiary care. We will provide special education for the disabled children and impart appropriate skill development and vocational training for the disabled youth/ adults. We will also be facilitating access to government entitlements and schemes for the PwD and thus empower them.

Long-Term Impact

Disability need not be an obstacle to success. We hope to empower the disabled by improving their access to health, rehabilitation, support, education and employment. We believe that it is our moral duty to remove the barriers to participation, and to unlock the vast potential of people with disabilities. It is our hope to ensure a dignified life for them and make them a contributing member to their families and society at large. Thus we will pave way for creating an inclusive society.
