Are You Ready to Bring Lasting Change for People with Disabilities in India?
People with disabilities have so much to offer the world, but in rural India, discrimination, exclusion, and stigma prevent them from sharing their gifts.
You have the power to change that.
When you provide support to people with disabilities in rural communities, you give the gift of inclusion and opportunity. Your generous gift will give access to specialized education, mobility devices and medical care, employment opportunities, and support networks called Sanghams. In a nutshell, you offer people with disabilities the chance to contribute to their communities and lead independent, fulfilling lives.

The Cycle of Empowerment:
A community can only move forward as a whole. Only when they break down the barriers that exclude people with disabilities from public life and create opportunities for them to contribute to their communities can villages achieve their true potential. When offered the opportunity, people with disabilities can make a living for themselves, start businesses, and provide for their families. The ripple effect spreads far beyond the people you help, beginning a cycle of positive change that impacts the whole community. When you empower a person with a disability, you empower a village.
The cycle of empowerment begins with you. Donate Now!
