Project Description

SHARE extended its focus area to disability and run a special school for children with hearing and speech impairment named Bridging Gap Institute under the support of Department of Empowerment of Persons with Disabilities, Ministry of Social Justice & Empowerment, Govt. of India, New Delhi. SHARE - through its outreach activities - has encountered several cases where children with speech and hearing impaired are often segregated from the mainstream and their schooling has not been encouraged due to the stigma attached with the disability. SHARE tried to mitigate such stigma through its initiative by establishing a school where children with speech and hearing impairment would come out of their confined four walls and explore the world.
