Background of the Project
Project: Mobile Community Outreach Rehabilitation for Persons with Disabilities”
(In collaboration with the National Institute for the Empowerment of Persons with Intellectual Disabilities, Department of Persons with Disabilities, Ministry of Social Justice and Empowerment)
The early the better” believing in this approach, The Hans Foundation has been supporting a number of projects to facilitate the early years of development. It provides supportive services to children and adult with disabilities who more often lack access to the comprehensive and intensified services in those magical years of development and also needed across the lifespan. This approach dramatically improves individual’s chances to reach their full potential and functioning, have better quality of life and take up their right place in the society as adults. The Hans Foundation is creating more such facilities and services in the country to reach the last mile of targeted community while aiming to achieve the goal “Persons with disabilities are socially included and living a valued & productive life”.
This project would be operated through mobile bus/van for early intervention, healthcare and rehabilitation, multidisciplinary interventions which is part of our broader effort to improve the lives of all children and adults with disabilities and to support reforms in the social system. The project will facilitate PWDs in accessing the disability certificate, Govt schemes, assistive aids and appliances and others benefits provided by the government.
