Inclusive Sustainable Livelihood

Economic independence is central to dignity. Yet persons with disabilities, especially in rural areas, face systemic barriers to employment.

ADD India’s livelihood program ensures access to sustainable, dignified work opportunities through:

  • Skill development and vocational training tailored to market needs.

  • Supporting entrepreneurship and self-help groups for income generation.

  • Partnering with businesses for inclusive hiring and workplace accessibility.

  • Linking individuals to government livelihood schemes and financial services.


Your support creates not just jobs, but pathways to self-reliance, confidence, and long-term inclusion.
