Aims to
promote the social model of disability, for people with
disabilities to live as equal citizens within the
community, to enjoy health and well being, to participate fully
in educational, social, cultural, religious, economic and
political.
The Govt. of
India has various schemes for people with disabilities under
education, health, livelihood & social protection. To build
multi –sectoral linkages the programme conducts regular
facilitation to Sangha (Self Help Group) members on different
schemes.
Actively
included in the family life and community is integral to a
person’s development and identity. The opportunities to
participate in socio- cultural activities has a strong
impact on a person, but children and adults with disabilities
have fewer opportunities to do so because of low income,
environmental & attitudinal barriers. The cycle of social
exclusions further reduces the self esteem & self confidence of
people with disabilities. The programmed works through the
Sanghas, builds the capacity of the members who in turn work
with people with disabilities in all developmental activities in
the community.
