PAADHAI worked with a Chennai based NGO for placement of physically challenged people.
The objective was to train and offer people with certain disabilities to industries free for a month. During that period, they would be offered a salary by Paadhai. By the end of the month, the organization has to decide whether they employ these people for longer terms.
This attempt was very successful. In the very first year, we helped over 40 people to gain employment through this program. Most of these placements have been in organizations that had never employed the differently abled.
The initiative ran for a few years, creating opportunities for those involved in the program.
