Bridging India Foundation Aspires to Create Smart Links from Schools to Work Mentorship

People with disabilities in India go through physical, social, and economic discrimination and face lack of equal access to basic resources, such as education, employment, healthcare and social and legal support systems.

Opportunity Collaborations bring together nonprofit leaders, social entrepreneurs, and social investors to move together towards poverty alleviation in the people with disabilities.

Bridging India Foundation aims to foster a Bridges from School to work mentorship thereby helping young people with disabilities the opportunity to learn, grow and succeed through employment. 



One such school where Bridging India Foundation has links is Dr. Bansi Dhar School – Bansuri Charitable Trust; Kota, Rajasthan. This is an educational institution for 500+ students from rural and disadvantaged backgrounds where many with different abilities have been mainstreamed. Children with special needs, disabilities receive vocational training along with guidance and advice to ensure their long term rehabilitation and education.

Another educational establishment in this connection is Learning Matters India, which helps children with learning disabilities become better learners. Collaborations through Bridging India Foundation will help provide them assistance with advanced tools, techniques and technologies as well as teacher trainings.

Bridging India Foundation focuses on abilities, and not disabilities, of physically disabled persons. Come; join hands with our great effort! Your involvement matters!!
