Project Proposal - Helping Hands for Disabled

PROJECT PROFILE
PLIGHT OF PERSONS WITH DISABILITIES:
The status and situation of Disabled Persons in Kurnool District of Andhra Pradesh, India is pitiable. The
people with disabilities in our area are poor and at risk of malnutrition, poor conditions of environmental
sanitation. People with disabilities who are members of poor families are therefore marginalized. There are
negative attitudes on the part of non-disabled persons in the family and the community, lack of services,
lack of artificial limbs & appliances are serious constraints. It is dire need to concentrate efforts to improve
the quality of life of the disabled by distribution of artificial limbs and appliances.
There are about 10000 persons with disabilities in our area of working. Persons with disabilities are a
heterogeneous group composed of those born with a disability, those who acquire a disability and those
who become disabled as a result of accidents. They include children and young people, adults and elderly
persons. Their disabilities are extensive, moderate and single disability and multiple disabilities. The
disability prevalence rates among different age groups have indicated both positive and negative aspects.
Mechanization, transport development, haphazard industrialization growth and environmental degradation
have made workers exposed to accidents and other disabilities. This proposed project is needed for the
targeted communities as they are deprived and poorest of the poor. The targeted communities are socially
backward and economically deprived and educationally underprivileged.

NEED OF THE PROJECT:
The proposed project is a need of the targeted persons with disabled in our area of work. These poor and
needy people of disabled are deprived in their socio-economic and community life. They need some kind
of external support and assistance to make their life self-supportive. Every year GWOA NGO receives
requests in hundreds especially after the free camp for the disabled and general public. The NGO were 80
covered yet there are several hundreds of applications for help are pending due to limited funds.
The following are the reasons that portray the need of this proposed project:
Severely disabled children and youth of all ages are highly dependent on their parents to meet their
basic care and treatment needs. In addition, older children are likely to have social, communication and
behavioural problems. Many of them were dependent on at least one item of medical equipment. On
average, household incomes were lower among these families compared with families with non-disabled.
