8. Dependence
Lack of Confidence
Unemployability
A Major Liability
600 million differently abled lack
independence in their day to day tasks due to
lack of Sight/mobility/communication.
Due to non-availability of affordable &
accurate assistive devices, they are left at
the mercy of their family causing a major blow
on their confidence & self esteem.
Lack of Sight / Mobility / Communication
concerns compels them to stay dependent
as they can’t go around for education/ training
and thereby employment.
Most of differently abled people come from
low income households (~60%) causing
them to be a major liability on their families.
