Project 1 - Adults with multiple sensory disabilities are not accepted into mainstream society and are denied the opportunity to lead normal lives. This project is tailored on NAB's successful rehabilitation program for adults with visual impairment. Starting with mobility training this program will impart confidence to the adult in dealing with daily life situations. They will be taught to communicate and provided vocational training so that they can support themselves financially. The course is for one year where all of the above amenities including boarding and food will be provided free of cost. Asha For Education will support teachers salary and room/food for them. 10 adults are expected to join this fledgling program.
Project 2 - Teachers who are part of the integrated education program (they integrate blind students into govt schools) will receive supplemental salary by Asha for Education so that they are paid equal to their contemporaries.
