About NGO:

TRINAYANI, a nonprofit organization founded in 2006 works towards mass awareness of disability and support to persons with disabilities. We specialize in demystifying the subject of disability through disability awareness training which are usually co-hosted by both able bodied and a disabled presenter. We believe that neglecting the cause of including people with disabilities in the mainstream of social life happens more out of ignorance, misinformation and exposure to Appropriate Visibility of persons with disabilities. We make films, radio programs/audio jingles, conduct seminars-workshops, publish books /posters and maintain an interactive website to facilitate the process of inclusion of human beings with disability in the mainstream of the society believing that "Disability is not the problem. The real problem is ATTITUDINAL barriers."

Fund Usage:

The funds raised will be utilized for our various Awareness Campaigns, particularly creating Disability Awareness Films and continuation of our Radio Show MUD MUD KE NA DEKH on All India Radio Fm Rainbow and on various Community Radio Stations across the country. We also continue to require finances for our Disability Equality Workshops for academic institutions and service industry. For a young trust like ours support is also needed towards establishment expenses.

Impact:

Census 2011 took place in our country from the 9th of Feb to the 2nd of March 2011. We at Trinayani strived to create awareness of the importance of this once in a decade event amongst persons with and without disabilities. We launched a multimedia COUNT ME IN DISABILITY AWARENESS CENSUS CAMPAIGN 2011 with a short film in 4 different languages which was aired by various television channels of the country, an audio jingle was aired across the country in various languages by Radio Mirchi. Hoardings, Posters, Out of Home Media were all used to advocate the Counting Of persons with Disabilities in Census 2011.
