What This Programme Does<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Economic independence is one of the most powerful forms of inclusion. A person who can manage their own money, access their own bank account, claim their government benefits, and make informed financial decisions is a person who does not need to depend on others for survival. For differently-abled children \u2014 who already face enormous barriers to employment and self-sufficiency \u2014 financial literacy is not a nice-to-have. It is foundational.<\/p>\n

The Financial Literacy for Disabled People programme delivers engaging, accessible financial education to children with disabilities across four special school locations in Prakasam District. It uses sign language interpreters, visual aids, interactive activities, and peer discussion to make financial concepts accessible to children whose disabilities may otherwise make traditional financial education inaccessible.<\/p>\n
