Fostering Inclusion

Apirl 2018 - March 2019

ABOUT GIFTABLED FOUNDATIONGiftAbled Foundation was formed in 2013 as a Public Charitable Trust. GiftAbled is a thought that we all can live with dignity. People withDisability may not fit into typical societal norms or silos due to their physical limitation. However, that should not be considered a reason to portray them fit only for charity. They can and will contribute towards building a just, sensitive and healthy society. Let us start looking at their Abilities.

GiftAbled strives to create an ecosystem of like-minded individuals and collectively build a disabled friendly society. We aim to empowerindividuals with disabilities across crucial aspects of their life, and have designed several services with this aim in mind.


From the desk of Trustee’s

GiftAbled has always worked on the premise that collaboration and reaching out to larger community can create deeper impact rather than working in silo. This year was all about building associations that could be win-win for all the stake-holders. Our first Early Intervention Center was kick started at Tumkur. This pro-vided ray of hope to mainstream children with development delay via therapies and aids/ appliances.

As we continue to grow our goal to provide relevant skills to beneficiaries is critical for the upliftment of Persons with Disability. That said we have had multiple work-shops including TTT on making of different products. Due to such engagements we could reach out to beneficiaries across country. Irrespective of disability whether physical or intellectual creation of self-employment always leads to cas-cading impact. It is not just Persons with Disability but even their care takers that start nurturing the thought of better life. In years to come GiftAbled will conduct longer duration workshops in remotest areas of our country. In over half a decade journey we have learnt and understood the larger challeng-es with respect to disability. Goal is to speed up the process of change and reach out to interiors of India. We at GiftAbled believe that societal and financial issues associated with disability has to be dealt comprehensively. Hence we will continue to focus on Health, Education and Livelihood of Persons with Disability to bring change on the ground.

I on behalf of GiftAbled Team thank all our volunteers and well wishers. We have just begun our journey and without your love and support we could not have achieved so much in such a short period of time.

Happy Inclusion!!

Women With Disability


Swatantra - The Freedom

PROJECT: LIVELIHOOD

A program for skilling Persons with Disabilities and theunderprivileged. Aim is to build long term varied skill sets of NGO partners so that they can tap into open market to sell their products. The main goal of this program is to enhance the quality of life of Persons with Disabilities and theircaretakers through increased knowledge and skills but merely imparting literacy will not be sufficient. They need vocational training or skills as well to uplift their status. They should be able to stand on their feet and be an earning member of the family.


Swatantra - The FreedomThe program covers two kinds of trainings:

1. Train the trainers of our partner organisations indifferent skills and expertise so that they can inculcate the same amongst the beneficiaries.

2. Train SHGs and Persons with Disabilities and their caregivers.

This program aims to reach sustainable mass livelihood opportunities not only forPersons with Disabilities, but also acid attack victims, transgender persons,underprivileged women, single mothers andcaregivers of children with disabilities.

STORY OF CHANGE"Our artist Akhilesh loves colours, whether it is painting a wall, block printing or painting diyas for Diwali. One can see the glow on his face when he starts painting. He plays with colours and flashes his beautiful smile. He was trained for 4 years to reach this level. Autism did not define him or stop him from becoming an artists."

PROJECT: LIVELIHOOD

During Diwali, we receivedaround 3300 units of orderon a product made withsupport of painting byAkhilesh.


Vlner EggmnWe need a massive number of volunteers to change the fortune of our country. From my experience of a decade and a half in the sector of working with thousands of volunteers, I have seen impact being created through volunteers each and every single day. It could be as simple as bringing a smile on someone's face to changing someone's life for good. Volunteers play a role of a Guide, Mentor, Friend, Guardian, Scribe, Dance partner, Child for an elderly at an old age home, a Counsellor or someone who is just there to listen. I have seen many volunteers who changed their profession aftervolunteering. In fact, half of team members at GiftAbled family have once started their journey as a volunteer. More power to all thevolunteers who are passionately devoting their time and utilising their skills in the best possible way.

Happy Volunteering and look forward to more and more people coming forward to volunteer.
