India has a large population of limbless and Polio afflicted
persons according to the National Sample Survey Organization,
(NSSO) the well known scientific body under Govt. of India
which undertook the sample survey of the disabled persons
in entire country the number of persons suffering from locomotor
disablities is 1% of the total population, which means a staggering
10 Million people in India
are suffering from locomotor disabilities out of the total
population on 1 Billion. Fitment
of Artificial limbs and Calipers, therefore has to be further
augmented on large-scale. This will entail tremendous financial
cost. We appeal to your for generous financial assistance
as your moral involvement in this humanitarian work.
According to the aticle published in American Journal of Prosthetics
& Orthotics, every year 25000 new amputees gets added to
this number, that means it requires an enourmous effort to
rehabilitate them all with the required aids. The fitment
of artificial limbs, therefore, has to be further augmented
on a large-scale. This will entail tremendous financial
cost. We, therefore, appeal to you for generous financial
assistance as your moral involvement in this humanitarian
work.
HELP AND NOT CHARITY

Though the society gives free assistance, it is ensured that the donor and the recepient beneficiary recognize this as help rather than charity. So that the self- respect of the latter is not belittled.
You will agree that the task of this magnitude needs not only the support of Philanthropists, sponsors and individuals but also collective will and effort. |
