In a world that continually strives for inclusivity and diversity, individuals living with disabilities face unique challenges that require collective efforts to overcome. At Sarthak, we believe in empowering every individual to lead a fulfilling life, regardless of their abilities. In this blog,

we'll explore the challenges faced by people with disabilities and the initiatives and strategies we employ to support them in overcoming these obstacles.

Living with a disability often means navigating a society that may not always be accommodating. Some of the common challenges include:

Physical Barriers:

Individuals with mobility impairments encounter obstacles like inaccessible buildings, lack of ramps, and limited public transportation options. At Sarthak, we advocate for universal accessibility to ensure that physical environments are inclusive for everyone.

Social Stigma:

Societal misconceptions and prejudices can lead to the stigmatization of people with disabilities. Sarthak works tirelessly to raise awareness and foster understanding, promoting a more inclusive and accepting community.

Limited Access to Education and Employment:

People with disabilities often face barriers in accessing quality education and securing employment opportunities. We collaborate with educational institutions and businesses to promote inclusive policies and practices that ensure equal opportunities for all.

Access to adequate healthcare is crucial for individuals with disabilities, yet they often face disparities in receiving proper medical attention. Sarthak advocates for improved healthcare policies and strives to enhance accessibility to medical services for everyone.
