SIOL targets to empower underprivileged children who also happen to be differently abled through developmental initiatives focusing on educational, social, economic, cultural and technological aspects.
SIOL has a vision of an inclusive society free from discrimination where persons with disabilities become contributing members, living with dignity and respect. We as a voluntary organization in India are working with children and adults who have developmental and other disabilities. As a resource centre for people with special needs, we provide early intervention services, livelihoods, development, education, training and awareness. We believe that when we plan for the most vulnerable the world works better for everyone. Our ‘rights’ based approach challenges injustice and demonstrates how inclusion works.
