Voice of SAP is on a mission to empower the lives of Specially Abled People with various enablement initiatives. VOSAP has changed the lives of 15,000 SAP up until now.
VOSAP believes that by enabling Specially Abled People with Assistive Devices, we can give them a chance to excel, become economically independent and be tax-paying citizens, contributing to the national GDP.
VOSAP understands the importance of innovative Assistive devices, how they enhance the abilities and help create better opportunities for SAP. To scale the adoption of Assistive Devices and make sure that SAPs get access and benefits of the innovative technology at affordable price levels, VOSAP has launched multiple Subsidy Schemes with their AT partners and exhibitors.

We are pleased to share a few examples of our beneficiaries who received Kibo XS Device under VOSAP Subsidy Scheme:
VOSAP Subsidy Scheme to make KIBO XS Device affordable for Visually Impaired SAP
Nandita Ravindra Tripathi is lawyer from Nagpur, Maharashtra with 100% Visual Impairment.
As part of the Subsidy scheme she received the device in February 2023 and has been using the device for more than a month now. Being a lawyer herself she has to review documents, annexures, and prepare for case proceedings and the device is helping her do it effectively and is also able to translate in regional languages. She is currently using it for reviewing and preparing documents in Hindi, English and Marathi.
She was very grateful to VOSAP for launching a subsidy scheme so that she could get a device at low cost that was affordable for her. She further shared “Since the COVID hit, my income was low and if the subsidy scheme wasn’t available, it would have been very difficult for me to afford the device. I am thankful to Voice of SAP for providing subsidy and supporting us.”
