Support children and persons with Disabilities
Organization information
Service Initiative for Voluntary Action Trust (SIVA Trust)
Location: Coimbatore, India
Summary
Persons with disabilities (PwDs) are the most excluded and marginalized community. With 40-80 million disabled people, India has one of the highest numbers of PwDs globally (World Bank report); 69% of them live in rural areas (India Census 2011). We seek your support to provide relevant medical aid and healthcare, and improve access to greater educational and employment opportunities. We, thereby hope to enhance and empower the quality of life for 308 PwDs in 14 villages. Important Notice about Projects in India: We expect that there will be significant delays in getting funds to this project due to new regulatory requirements that impact GlobalGiving's ability to disburse to Indian-banked organizations. GlobalGiving is working hard to address the issue, but there is a chance that we will be unable to disburse funds to this project. If we cannot disburse funds, donations to this project may be reallocated to another organization per our terms and conditions.
