The Joy of Giving Campaign 2024 is not just about
donations – it’s about creating opportunities and making a lasting impact in
the lives of Persons
with Disabilities (PwDs). Organized by Sarthak
Educational Trust, this month-long initiative is an invitation
for corporates,
communities, and individuals to come together for a noble
cause.
But how exactly can you contribute to this incredible movement?
Here are some impactful ways to get involved:
1. Payroll Giving – Empower Through Consistent Support
Encourage your employees to participate in payroll giving, where a
small portion of their salary goes towards supporting Sarthak’s initiatives.
These recurring donations provide consistent support for therapy, education,
and employment opportunities for PwDs, creating a meaningful impact over time.
2. Sponsor Therapy Sessions – Change Lives with Healing
You can directly sponsor therapy sessions (physical, occupational,
speech, etc.) for individuals with disabilities. These therapies are essential
in helping PwDs gain independence and improve their quality of life. Your
sponsorship could be the key to someone’s personal growth and empowerment.
3. Create Employment Opportunities – Inclusion Begins with Jobs
Partner with us to open up job opportunities for PwDs in your
organization. By providing training, mentorship, and employment, you’re
offering more than a job – you’re offering the chance for financial
independence and a sense of belonging.
4. In-Store and E-Commerce Donations – Every Small Contribution Counts
If you’re in retail or e-commerce, consider integrating donation
options at checkout. Customers can choose to round up their purchase or add a
small donation, contributing to programs that empower PwDs. It’s a simple,
effective way to make giving easy and impactful.
5. Donate a Device – Bridge the Digital Divide
Technology is a powerful enabler for PwDs, allowing them to access
education, employment, and independence. Contribute to our Donate a
Device initiative by providing laptops, smartphones, or other
assistive technologies to PwDs, helping them bridge the digital divide and
achieve their goals.
6. Sensitization Workshops – Build an Inclusive Workforce
Host workshops that educate your employees about disability
inclusion and workplace accessibility. These sessions are an excellent way to
build empathy, understanding, and a more inclusive work culture that values the
contributions of PwDs.
7. Visit Vision in the Dark – Promote Empathy
Participate in a corporate visit to our Vision in the
Dark experience. This immersive event simulates the challenges
faced by visually impaired individuals, promoting empathy and awareness among
participants, inspiring them to advocate for greater inclusivity.
