Snehadeep Trust For The Disabled

This programme is the organisation's attempt to help conserve the environment and also benefit specially-abled people. It conducts regular collection drives across companies and collects newspapers, shredded paper, cartons, A4 size sheets, old magazines, used books text and notebooks, plastic materials and other inorganic products that are then sold to recycling units.

The money received from the sale is used to fund the Trust’s activities, also, part of the paper is used to create and develop braille sheets for visually impaired students.

The Trust looks out for hidden talent in its students and provides opportunities to them to perform on stage. It works to provide training to the students in fine arts like dance, vocal and instrumental music. Cultural groups from Snehadeep have performed for a wide range of audiences in India, the USA and the UK.

Mobility training forms an important skill for specially-abled people. The Trust trains people with disabilities to move around safely using equipment such as long canes and other physical aids.
