At EDA Prakasham and Manikymma Charitable Trust, we believe that every individual, regardless of physical or mental ability, deserves equal opportunities to live with dignity, independence, and purpose. Our Support for Disabled Individuals initiative is built on a compassionate, inclusive, and empowering approach to uplift the lives of differently-abled persons and integrate them fully into society.
We offer a range of comprehensive services and resources tailored to meet the diverse needs of individuals with physical and intellectual disabilities:
Mobility and Assistive Devices: We distribute essential aids such as wheelchairs, crutches, walking sticks, hearing aids, and specially designed tools to enhance daily mobility and independence.
Medical Support and Rehabilitation: We organize medical camps and facilitate access to physiotherapy, speech therapy, and regular check-ups for the differently-abled. Special focus is given to early diagnosis and long-term rehabilitation.
Skill Development and Vocational Training: We provide training programs to equip disabled individuals with practical skills in tailoring, handicrafts, computer literacy, and other trades, enabling them to become self-reliant and financially independent.
Educational Inclusion: For children and youth with disabilities, we provide learning materials, assistive technologies, and liaise with inclusive schools to ensure that no child is denied an education due to their physical or mental limitations.
Recognizing the emotional challenges faced by disabled individuals, we offer:
Counseling and Guidance: Professional counselors help individuals and their families navigate emotional stress, develop coping strategies, and build self-confidence.
Awareness Campaigns: We conduct community sensitization drives to challenge stigma and promote the rights and inclusion of people with disabilities.
Celebration of Abilities: We regularly host cultural events, talent showcases, and sports activities that highlight the talents and strengths of differently-abled individuals, inspiring community admiration and support.
We are committed to creating inclusive environments where disabled individuals are treated with respect and fairness:
Infrastructure Improvements: We advocate for the construction of ramps, accessible toilets, and other disabled-friendly amenities in public spaces and institutions.
Legal Awareness and Rights Protection: Our team educates individuals and families about their legal rights under the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (RPWD) Act and helps them avail government schemes and entitlements
.
We believe that empowering families is crucial for the long-term well-being of the disabled:
Caregiver Support: We provide training and emotional support for parents and caregivers to help them care more effectively and compassionately.
Community Integration: Through neighborhood outreach, we foster inclusive relationships and break down social barriers that often isolate the disabled from society.
