1. Appeal for job opportunities

Speak to Corporates and Business owners for employing 

Differently Abled.   Many organizations already have policy of 

Diversity & Inclusion and employ PWD (Persons with Disabilities)

Rotarians who are having their own business can also employ 

differently abled adults based on their skills and competency.  

For organizations which have not yet employed differently abled 

people, Rotary will facilitate a session with experts on their 

abilities and help to sensitize before onboarding. 

Rotary will share the list of Skill mapping, identifying jobs that can 

be done by persons under various categories of disabilities.
