Aman is a 20yrs old young adult with deafblindness. He has low vision with profound hearing loss and speech impairment. He belongs to an economically backward family. His father passed away when he was very young and was brought up by single parent. He has attended school for special education till he completed his 12th class.
Aman was enrolled in the project in 2015. Since then, the special educators have been working with him to improve his communication skills. His teachers taught him sign language so that he is able to communicate. During the vocational training he learnt money concept, paper bag making, pickle making and Diya painting.
Sense International India provided seed capital to his family who were going through financial crisis to setup a kirana shop once he turned 18 years old. His mother said that the shop is the only source of income for them and they are getting good income through this shop. They bought a refrigerator few months back that has helped them to expand their business. Besides managing the shop, Aman is now pursuing Computer Operator and Programming Assistant course from the Industrial Training Institute as a regular student. His mother manages the shop when he goes out for his classes.
After completing the course, Aman wants to use his knowledge by putting a kiosk in his shop for Travel booking, Aadhar update that will provide him an opportunity to earn more money and fulfil his dreams.
The support received from donors through GlobalGiving has helped Sense India to provide the required resources and training to so many children with deafblindness and multiple disabilities like Aman to enable them to access education and bringing them closer to their dreams.
We thank GlobalGiving providing such a platform to fulfil the mission of the Non-Profit Organisations like Sense India.
