Many a times we come across situations where we are humbled.

Humbled due to the kindness of the situation, in amazement due to the timing.

Such was our experience with American Express. Due to Give India’s confidence and American Express (AMEX) and it’s employee’s generosity we not only weathered the storm but progressed in our en-devours as well. Our work in the disability sector has taken new turns in the past couple of years. We have been engaged in various recycling projects; from waste flowers, discarded paper to plastic bottles. However, we were able to introduce new projects to our beneficiaries in order to expose them to different aspects of life. We were able to do so through organic farming. Though the idea of working with your hands may seem rudimentary, it inherently possess therapeutic benefits. We (all of us) accept their biological limitations, both in terms of body and mind, but we also understand the psychological benefits of a direction in life. How that empowers one’s efforts to reach new heights. Our aim to incorporate such perspective into the minds of people with disabilities has been challenging yet worth the effort. Today we can proudly say that over 80% of our staff are people with disabilities, and some are even mentally challenged.
