Inclusion of the disabled

Caring for the fringe people concerns all of us.

An estimated ten percent of the population is disabled. The physically and mentally disabled and their families are subjected to miseries, which are aggravated by the insensitiveness of the society.

Habitat technology group has been active in making the lives of the disabled, less painful through its creative interventions as a professional body in the habitat sector as well as a group of concerned citizens.

Design and construction of buildings is a major factor deciding the inclusion and by that the quality of the lives of the disabled.

Habitat has been  pioneering efforts to design barrier free buildings accessible to the disabled.

As an advocacy group Habitat has been campaigning to bring about an awareness in society on the need for barrier free buildings.

Another area in which Habitat has been working focussedly is in constructing buildings that would facilitate access to different groups of disabled.

Habitat has been working closely with the parent’s association of mentally disabled children, and various NGOs and groups working for the betterment of the disabled.

This has given us the opportunity to evolve innovative ideas that will bring cheer to the lives of mentally and physically disabled.

Habitat has taken an active role in creating an awareness on the problems of handicapped vis a vis barrier free construction.

We invite organizations and individuals who wish to exchange ideas and join hands in this regard.
