Since
2005
VISHWAS is a not for profit organisation working in the field of Disability and Inclusive Development. Their mission is to create a diverse and inclus Read moreive society where every individual is ensured equal rights and opportunities in a dignified manner. In 2005, Neelam Jolly, the founder of VISHWAS started working in Sanp ki Nagli, a small village in Sohna block of Gurugram district of Haryana with a vision of an inclusive society where persons with disabilities are ensured equal rights and opportunities in a dignified manner. Now, after eighteen years of persistent work and resilience, VISHWAS is a proud team of 45 people working for the four programmes that complement each other. So far VISHWAS has provided services to 4028 beneficiaries.
Issue
All our programmes cater to children and young adults from the most marginalised communities. Even within vulnerable groups, those with disabilities are most likely to get excluded and discriminated against. Every child has a right to meaningful and quality education in a positive learning environment. Livelihood options and life skills are essential for everyone, not only because they enable independence, but also because they help to improve self-esteem and lead to a life of dignity and respect. All adults have a right to take control of their lives and exercise choices to select their personal preferences and livelihood. There is a need to create enabling environment by community sensitisation and awareness raising programmes, facilitating PwDs to avail their rights and entitlements, empowering them to participate in decision making and sensitizing relevant stakeholders in the community to accept diversity and promote inclusive practices.
Action
VISHWAS is committed to working towards promoting accessible, enabling and inclusive environments. We develop and promote inclusive models in education, skill development and community outreach in partnership with the government, institutions, communities, corporate sector, parents and children. Beginning in 2005, and currently operating from Gurugram, Haryana, our activities are focused around four core programmes: 1.VISHWAS VIDYALAYA 2.VISHWAS SKILL DEVELOPMENT AND TRAINING 3.VISHWAS COMMUNITY BASED PROGRAMME 4.VISHWAS DISABILITY RESOURCE CENTRE AND TRAINING PROGRAMME

Vishwas Vidyalaya
VISHWAS Vidyalaya is a recognized inclusive elementary school with nearly 300 students, studying from Nursery to VIII. Most of our students are from migrant communities marginalised by poverty and with little or no prior exposure to formal education. About 18% of the students are with disabilities. The Vidyalaya aims for holistic and all round development of its students through a well balanced curriculum and by identifying and addressing barriers that prevent active learning and participation. There is exposure to digital learning and educational trips are organised to make learning more meaningful. Every effort is made by the school staff to provide a stimulating environment that includes a range of co-curricular activities such as sports, music, dance, arts and crafts. From Hindi medium, since the last two years, we are gradually moving to English medium of instruction. All students are learning music- vocal /instrumental depending upon their interest and talent. The students with special needs receive physiotherapy/ speech therapy/ sign language training depending on specific needs.
