AIDS AND APPLIANCES

FOD has been providing aids and appliances (mainly mobility aids) like wheelchairs, tricycles, walkers, crutches, walking sticks, and also hearing aids to the needy and deserving people with disabilities (PWDs). These gadgets can be bought of the shelf and instantly provided to the recipients, as there is no need of any measurements, trials etc.

Tricycle not only serves as a easy and comfortable mode of conveyance for several disabled people but also serves as a sale outlet for petty traders, helped under Apna Rozgaar Scheme (ARS) by FOD.

PCO/STD facility, confectionary items, betel products etc being sold from a tricycle is a common sight on Delhi roads. Police and civic authorities also refrain from unnecessarily harassing a disabled entrepreneur operating from a tricycle.

PWDs according to WHO contribute about ten percent population. But we majorly lack resources to meet the specific needs of this huge segment of our society.
