This project aims to improve the living conditions of people with disabilities by realising their rights to participation, protection and development.
The project works towards this by focusing on education, health and socio-economic development. The project provides special needs education to children and youth with disabilities. It runs integrated early learning centres with abled and disabled children, inclusive education at primary and secondary level and vocational training. Severely disabled children are visited at home for home-based education. To improve the health of disabled children the project provides supplementary food. Communities receive health education on immunisation, family planning, personal hygiene, anti natal and pre natal care and awareness on prevention of disabilities. To improve the socio-economic status of youth with disabilities the project facilitates income generating activities. People with disabilities and parents of children with disabilities participate in self-help groups to improve their economic situation.
