NGO helps 400 people in Ladakh walk again

We have all been blessed with good health and limbs that can take us around but there are many who don’t have the privilege. There are disabled people are among us and while it pains us to see them facing difficulties not many of us do much. A Mumbai-based NGO helping people with disabilities has taken up the Herculean task of helping 400 people in Ladakh to lead normal lives again and it is commendable.

Ratna Nidhi Charitable Trust was founded 25 years ago to help disabled people lead better lives and recently they took up the task of helping people in Ladakh walk again. The camp which will start in April is going to be done with the help of a fundraiser and the trust is going to be distributing prosthetic legs, callipers, hearing aids and wheelchairs too.

It is always difficult for disable people to move around in hilly areas given the kind of terrain that they have to walk in on a daily basis. They have to constantly walk on slopes and climb higher to reach their houses, their requirement of a prosthetic leg is different and so the NGO decided to help them with their initiative.

Seeing these disabled walk again is definitely going to be a happy sight for the patients and their families and there is nothing like bringing joy to faces with an initiative like this.
