What You Can Do?

To protect children with disabilities from violence and abuse, our programme work focuses on…

Showing the community that every child is valuable

Teaching the community about the rights of children with disabilities

Working on the life skills and self-perception

Supporting the child’s access to healthcare, assistive devices and social support

Supporting access to education and helping schools to adapt to the needs of children with disabilities

Supporting families of children with disabilities with the means to generate income

Strengthening groups of persons with disabilities, to help children realise they are not alone, and that they have rights like everybody else
Protecting children with disabilities against violence

Every Child Matters

“Violence against children is never justifiable. Nor is it inevitable. If its underlying causes are identified and addressed, violence against children is entirely preventable.“
– Kofi Annan

The Situation

Children with disabilities are more vulnerable to violence because…

  • •  The community does not recognize the disability (e.g. feel that a deaf child should just listen better) or think the child is cursed and would rather get rid of it
  • •  Parents think the child has no future and neglect it
  • •  Perpetrators think the child cannot report them
  • •  Perpetrators expect the child to not be HIV positive
  • •  Children with disabilities receive no sex education
  • •  Low self-esteem makes them more vulnerable
  • •  They are often denied their rights to services including medical care or protection

What You Can Do?

For an organization working for and with children with disabilities, such as Light for the World, a clear and explicit policy describing how violence against children is to be prevented, is crucial. Of course we hold our local partner organisations to the same high standards which we apply to ourselves.

Disability Inclusive Livelihood

Changing lives at the community level
Beth EL Religious and Social Welfare Foundation supports inclusive livelihood opportunities  in Miraj, Subhashnagar, Bethelnagar, Budhgaon,Wanlesswadi, Kasbe-digraj etc.

The Situation

Persons with disabilities are more likely to be excluded from services that help increase chances to build up a decent livelihood, because…

  • •  They face stigma and discrimination, being considered less capable of the following education, working, or being able to repay a start-up capital for a business.
  • •  Life is more expensive for persons with a disability, as many countries do not have universal health care or insurances do not cover the cost of rehabilitation and assistive devices.
  • •  Women with disabilities struggle even more to build up a decent livelihood. Communities tend to invest less in their future, making them even more vulnerable to having to depend on charity and to become victims of abuse.

What you can do?

In order to increase the chances of persons with disabilities to make a decent living, our programme work focuses on…

Increasing awareness on the fact that persons with disabilities are capable of taking their lives in their own hands

Increasing the self-esteem of persons with disabilities and build up their vocational as well as soft skills to have something to offer on the labor market, with a special focus on women with disabilities

Providing access to health care, rehabilitation services and assistive devices for women and men with disabilities

Cooperating with schools, universities, vocational training centers, NGOs, companies, and microcredit organizations to make their services inclusive of and accessible to persons with disabilities

I Am Employable

80% to 90% of young people with disabilities in low-income countries are unemployed. Our Disability Inclusion Lab’s report “I am Employable: creating access to technical and vocational education for young people with disabilities” have new findings on inclusive vocational training.
