Divyang Swavlambi Udyog

Real work, real wages, and a real route to self-reliance for people with disabilities.

Divyang Swavlambi Udyog

The gap between ability and opportunity is one of the hardest things disabled people face. Skills are rarely the problem. Access to dignified, paid work too often is. Divyang Swavlambi Udyog, our self-employment initiative, exists to close that gap.

In our workshop, disabled women learn and practise real trades: incense making, newspaper and craft envelopes, bamboo craft and sewing. These are not token activities. They are saleable products, made to a standard, that earn a genuine wage.

Every purchase from the workshop is a wage paid to a disabled woman learning a livelihood. Over time, the skills built here become the foundation of independence, the ability to earn, to plan, and to stand on one's own.
