EnAble India

EnAble India EnAble India is an NGO working for economic independence of persons with disabilities. Thus agency gained by PwD leads to Active Citizenship.

EnAble India (EI) a non-profit organization, working on the ground for the last 2 decades and impacting thousands of Persons with disability. Our vision is a world where persons with disability are tax payers, active citizens and nation builders. We believe that the nation and the world will benefit from seeing persons with disability as change agents and serve as a constant reminder for the need

for inclusion of everybody. Where people reach their full potential by finding solutions and learn to value each other through constant inclusion. The perception of Persons with disability as dependent and non-contributing members of society will transform. To attain this vision, EI is on a mission to build a sustainable Livelihood Ecosystem for millions of PwDs to attain a dignified life while having a positive impact on the economy and society. This will lead to a paradigm shift where PwDs are tax payers (via various forms of livelihoods), active citizens and nation builders, will lead to shift in consciousness for society. Active citizenship means people getting involved in their communities and democracy at all levels from local to national and global. Often PwD are precluded from taking on active citizenship roles due to economic, social and political disempowerment. We aim to build 21st century skills in persons with disability enabling dignified livelihoods leading to economic, social and political empowerment. Enable India has catered to the needs of 14 disabilities thus far. These disabilities include Vision Impairment, Hearing Impairment, Locomotor Disability, Neuro Diversity, Severe and Multiple Disabilities. We have impacted 220,000+ individuals including persons with disabilities and their families in 28 states in India. In the past 20 years Enable India has collaborated with 725 companies and 229 partner organizations across 1050 locations in 27 countries. We have opened up 291 job roles across 22 sectors. We have built 12+ models and frameworks train employable persons with disability, and includable leaders capable of leading the change. Enable India sustained ongoing engagement with various companies and partner organizations through ecosystem development by providing holistic solutions, services, and opportunities. Enable India focuses on creating a supply of employable job seekers with disabilities while creating the demand in companies through our awareness and leadership programs. At Enable India persons with disability are encouraged to use innovative workplace solutions to overcome their challenges, assisting them to work with efficiency, quality and excellence like any other employee. This promotes an inclusive culture at workplace and employees with disabilities to live up to their potential. Enable India’s models and content are used across many organizations not only in India but also in Africa, Asia, Europe and America. PwD in India are earning salaries at par with their non-disabled counterparts and infact salaries which surpass the Annual Median per capita income of $616 – Persons with vision impairment, hearing impairment and physical disability have got salaries that are 43 times and persons with neurodiversity up to 14 times the median salary. This in a world where it is legal to pay PwD lower salaries than non-disabled in many countries. 81% PwD once earning contribute to their family incomes and over 35% are the primary bread winners

Did you know superheroes have their own sign names in Indian Sign Language?

When you ask a Deaf person their name, they'll probably show you a sign.

For example, holding your right index and middle fingers together and tapping them on the back of your left fist is the sign name of our Deaf colleague, Tushar. If you card your fingers through your hair, that’s the sign name of another Deaf colleague Deepak.

These sign names often have a connection to a person's personality, appearance, or something that makes them unique

We wanted to showcase the richness of Indian Sign Language through the sign names of some popular superheroes.

Did we cover your favourite superhero?

Drop their name in the comments below, and we'll share their sign names next!



Video description:

It shows a person lying on a bed sleeping. Another man comes and wakes him by shaking his shoulders. Then they have a conversation, which is followed by a Deaf person signing the names of a few superheroes while the pictures of the actors who played them in the Marvel and DC movies appears at the background. At the end, the background switches, and another Deaf person signs.

"Before the program, I wasn't entirely sure what to expect. But the experience gave me immense motivation, a strengthened perspective from my fellow participants, and a roadmap that will guide me throughout my life." — Mansoor Ali

Many more individuals like Mansoor have worked on challenges that matter to their communities (with guidance from mentors at EnAble India!) through the CPRise program. It is designed to empower persons with cerebral palsy to become self-advocates, leaders, and changemakers.

But that’s not all we do. We host community dialogues that bring together people with cerebral palsy from across India—to share experiences, discuss challenges, meet like-minded individuals, or just simply chat.

Interested in joining a dialogue? Drop us a comment below.

This video shows a young woman, sitting on a sofa in a room, speaking into the camera as different images of Mansoor appear periodically on the screen. Images of Mansoor smiling, his childhood photoes in a white school uniform, photoes from his job and during his Change Project and accompanying pictures also come up in succession. EnAble India logo is present at the top right. There's also sign language interpretation at the top left.

Here’s a fun fact for you, the foot reflexologist shown in the video is a person with low vision. His name is Vimal and he just recenlty finished his training to be a foot reflexologist!

Self-care looks different for everyone. Sometimes, it's a long nap. Sometimes, it's your favourite comfort food. And sometimes, it's giving your feet the care they deserve.

Foot reflexology is a therapeutic wellness practice that uses targeted pressure on the feet to support relaxation, circulation, and overall wellness.

We're excited to introduce our newest foot reflexologists with vision impairment and low vision, who have successfully completed their training under the guidance of Dr. Ashwini from Nived Health Care and are now ready to begin their professional journey. Vimal is one of the first students from the first batch.

And if you're already picturing yourself at a spa, unwinding while your feet get some much-needed pampering, we've got good news—we're bringing that experience to you.

Whether it's your office, apartment community, workplace, or event, you can host a foot reflexology camp by simply sending us a DM. We'd love to bring a little wellness to your space.

So, put your feet in capable hands and treat yourself to some well-deserved R and R.

And while you're at it, you'll also be supporting inclusive livelihoods for persons with disabilities.



Video description: Various clips of a foot reflexologist with low vision, Vimal, are shown. The include the following. Vimal putting on his hair covering, then putting down client details in an excel sheet using a digital magnifier solution. Vimal then puts oil on the spoon and sprays oil on his hand. He massages the feet of the client in specific upwards and downward motions. And many others follow in quick succession.

Movements begin with a powerful idea. They become real when they find a shared language, a common framework, and a collective path to action.

On 14 July, we launch the Purple Economy White Paper—a foundational framework that reimagines persons with disabilities as customers, workers, entrepreneurs, innovators, and decision-makers.

Built on years of conversations, evidence, and lived experience, the White Paper shifts the conversation from welfare and accommodation to participation, market creation, and economic growth.
