Due to stigma and discrimination that face persons with disabilities at the same time when there is a need to get support. The world seems so narrow for the Marginalised. Not only persons with disabilities. Orphans and other marginalized groups face similar discrimination and stigma in society. Hence the persons with disabilities are on top of the need to get recognition. We need to minimize stigma discrimination
We need sign language for all
We need equal opportunities for all despite one’s disability. Because disability is not inability.
Institutions must have inclusive education and services. Companies must employ persons with disabilities and have an accommodating environment. Religious institutions must have an accommodating environment for persons with disabilities. Just to name a few. All these burning issues gave birth to SAI.
