Empowering differently abled through Entrepreneurship

Summary

“Disability is a matter of perception. If you can do just one thing well, you’re needed by someone.” - Martina Navratilova

According to a report published in 2021, India has almost 3 crore people living with disabilities. Out of them, 1.3 crore people are skilled and employable. However, only 34 lakhs of them are employed across the organized sector, unorganized sector, govt.-led schemes as well as self-employment work. 

The story of Sanjeev could also end in disappointment. However, Sanjeev came in contact with INDIAdonates’ partner Pure India Trust. Pure India Trust is working to empower people with disabilities by helping them utilize their skills and supporting them to start their businesses (Micro-enterprises) in their own communities. The core objective of this program is to make them financially independent and enabling them to utilize skills they already have. Sanjeev was supported via a starting capital and training on financial management as well as branding and marketing. Sanjeev started his Tuition classes again and with the right marketing and resource backing, his classes were not only successful but his services became much sought-after. Sanjeev is now earning well and can support himself financially.
