Enablement

Voice of SAP firmly believes that everyone can contribute something in the society if they are given opportunities. So far, Voice of SAP has changed the lives of 15,000+ People, Putting smiles on 75,000+ faces in 12 States of India and USA…

Our society has a certain notion about the word disability. The stigma of treating Persons with Disabilities (PwD) in a different way has been going on for ages. It creates multiple societal complexities for PwD. This stereotyping often results in people’s poor attitude, ignorance, pity, and fear towards disabled people. PwD become victims of inequality and injustice on many fronts.

In order to break this notion, VOSAP has been working hard to bring forward the facts and useful data to the surface for helping people make the right decisions and motivate informed action to bring a Social Transformation.

Assistive technology and innovations bring people with disabilities one step closer to independent living. It has been the empowerment force that can let them lead their lives with dignity. An appropriate device gives them the ability to overcome their physical limitations and reduce their daily life struggles.

Voice of Specially Abled (VOSAP) understands the vital role that Assistive Devices play in changing a life and with technology, innovation, and intervention. VOSAP works towards enabling people with disabilities by providing them assistive devices, contributing to research, advocating policy changes and surgical interventions.

VOSAP is committed to enable Specially Abled People with necessary interventions and support such as providing Assistive devices, surgical interventions, scholarships and jobs so they can overcome their limitations and find suitable opportunities to excel.

• Assistive Devices:
  • Over 1 Billion People in this world need Assistive Devices and Only 1 out of 10 has access to the devices.
  • To maximize the outreach and ensure more SAP are enabled and provide support with assistive devices all over India, Voice of SAP has created an online application system to apply for various types of innovative devices like Wheelchair, Smartcane, Headmouse Smartphones, Hearing Aids, Tricycle etc.
