In the middle of difficulty lies opportunity. This is a quote that has always meant so much to me and cause me to never say can’t, especially when I was faced with many problems and difficulties in my life. I have always had a great interest in helping and working with others, as far back as I can remember.

Disability is a part of many people’s lives, but does that make them less of a human than anyone else? No. Then, what makes some people deny the basic rights of people living with disabilities, the vulnerable and the helpless naïve teenage girls in our society?

People living with disability as a segment of community, need to live independently, which they cannot achieve alone. Therefore, this project has provided empowerment to enhance their mobility and to help them to live independent and dignified life.
