Be proud of who you are...

Disability of any nature is not a tragedy, it’s an inconvenience.
Just because you are disabled doesn't mean you can't enjoy the variety of life.
Be proud of who you are. It's OK to be different.

Shocking Realities...

There are 650+ million PWDs worldwide, in which 80% are living in poor countries.
PWD is the world’s largest “minority” worldwide.
It is estimated that about 1% in any given population, i.e, about 65 million people worldwide require a wheelchair. (WHO)
Death rate in PWDs is 80% more than normal persons.
Suicide rate in PWDs - Persons with Disabilities" is approx. 75%.

It's the society that needs to change her manners to include PWDs in the community.
We; the PWDs should not have to change to fit in with society.

Let's boost your voice with "Voice of Specials"

Asking for Help is not a Sign of Weakness. We all need help every now and then. Financial, spiritual, physical
