Aim/Objective/Mission: Mitra Jyothi is a registered charitable
trust formed in 1990 with the objective of integrating
persons with disability into mainstream society. Although
initially set up for the empowerment of visually challenged
persons, we have now extended our work to cover persons
with other disabilities as well. We believe that people
with disabilities can play a useful role in society provided
they are given the opportunity to learn the basic skills
that others learn. To this end, Mitra Jyothi has designed
a variety of training and support programmes that will
assist persons with disability become independent and
in still in them the confidence to achieve their goals.
In order to achieve our objectives, Mitra Jyothi has been
networking with the media who help publicise our programmes
and spread the message as widely as possible. We have
also established contact with various NGO’S that
help to identify possible beneficiaries in the villages/regions
where they work. However, we still have a long way to
go. The number of people with disabilities who need support
is large. They need all the assistance they can get if
our dream of empowering them is to come true. |
