Activities on DISABLE DEVELOPMENT

In Bangladesh, more than 10% of the total population is alternately able. People with disabilities have argued for many years that disability is human rights, not a welfare issue. Disabled people are suffering most from social discrimination. Social mentality is negative towards people with disabilities. Being a right-based organization BARNALY is deeply concerned with the matters regarding rights and privileges of the people with disabilities. It is trying to develop a strong coordination and network at local, national and international level for awareness rising and sensitization. The organization is also committed to do all sorts of advocacy and influential works in the disability sector like income-generating training, interest free loan facilities, rehabilitation, assistive device distribution, PRT service, scholarship for disabled school going children etc. Last year Barnaly was funded by Bangladesh NGO Foundation (BNF) to train up the poor disabled to make them self-reliant.
