About

  • Headquarters

    Bangalore, Karnataka

  • Since

    2013

Voice of Needy Foundation (VNF) is a Bangalore headquartered NGO working across Karnataka in the field of Disability. After 3 years of intensive field Read more work, VNF was formally registered in 2013. Within disability, our focus has been to work with the most disadvantaged amongst them. Our bias is towards the school drop-outs, the very poor and the more severely disabled. Our basic approach with the beneficiaries is to first build their self-respect and then show them that change is possible. Our Founder and most of our staff are themselves disabled and act as role models and credible teachers. Since last 10 years we reached to 31 dist of Karnataka and done direct events in 20 dist


Issue

Disabled people face difficulty to get employment due to lack in employable skills{ communication skills ,basic Computer for office work, manageable english, work ethics, policies in the companies, disability Management, Sector Knowledge} We focus on 4, 37,903 Disabled youths of Karnataka {As per census 2011} The disabilities like Polio and other types are prevented in 20th century by the advancement of medical technologies ,According to a 2022 meta-analysis, the prevalence of intellectual disability (ID) in India is 2%. This is based on a review of individual studies over the last 60 years, which show that the prevalence has decreased from 5% to 2%. Lack of early intervention / identification and early education leads to permanent disability and percentage of disability would be increased over the period The children born with delayed development may suffer from delayed in all the milestones and it would be minimized by the intervention.


Action

We have worked across disability-related fields over the past ten years, including Early Intervention programmes for kids with disabilities, Community Awareness, Upskilling programmes that lead to employability, Education, and Distribution of medical equipment throughout Karnataka. Since 2017, our primary focus has been on assisting People with Disabilities (PwD) to achieve financial and emotional independence. Today, ~70% of disabled people, especially in North Karnataka are dependent on families. The majority of them lack confidence, are undereducated, and have experienced neglect since they were young children.This coupled with the community attitudetowards disability is detrimental for their growth and future.Therefore, we developed a Residential Skill development and Employment program in order to concentrate on this problem. Till date, we have upskilled 1400+ disabled people across Karnataka and imparted skills like Computers, Soft skills,Personality development and others. 70% of our beneficiaries have secured employment, areindependent and also taking care of their families.
