Chander

Intern

From Isolation to Integration

Chander, a young boy from Mithi, spent his early childhood isolated. Born with a physical disability, he lacked mobility to attend school or play with peers. His parents couldn't afford a wheelchair or navigate disability documentation.

In October 2024, NOWPDP Tharparkar identified Chander and provided him with a tailored wheelchair. The transformation was immediate. He began attending school and playing in his local playground. Teachers noticed remarkable changes, he grew confident, curious, and socially engaged. Chander's story proves that inclusion begins with access and access begins with movement.
