2. Background & Need Statement
Children with disabilities from rural and low-income families face multiple barriers in accessing quality education. These include poverty, cost of schooling, transportation challenges, medical needs, and lack of family resources.
Many parents are daily wage workers or marginal farmers and are unable to bear the recurring educational expenses of their children. Without external support, these students are at high risk of dropping out of school, which limits their chances of independent and dignified living.
To address this critical need, Helpers of the Handicapped proposes a Student Sponsorship Programme for 49 students with disabilities for the academic year 2026–2027.
