Why this work matters
In hill states like Nagaland, persons with disabilities face distance, difficult terrain and limited specialist services. Many children with disabilities are never diagnosed early, never enrolled in school, or drop out because classrooms are not accessible. Adults often struggle to obtain the disability certificates and pensions they are entitled to.
Guardian Angel works through a community-based rehabilitation (CBR) approach — bringing awareness, support and referral to families where they live, and working with schools, health centres and government departments to make services reachable.
What we do
Early identification
Door-to-door awareness and screening camps to identify developmental delays and disabilities early, with referral to district hospitals and specialists.
Assistive devices & therapy
Linking people to wheelchairs, crutches, hearing aids and other aids, and to physiotherapy and speech therapy services.
Inclusive education
Supporting enrolment and retention of children with disabilities in mainstream schools, and orienting teachers on inclusion.
Rights & entitlements
Guidance on the Unique Disability ID (UDID) card, disability certificates, pensions, scholarships and schemes under the RPwD Act, 2016.
Parent & caregiver support
Parent groups, home-care training and counselling so families feel equipped rather than alone.
Skills & livelihoods
Vocational training and self-employment support so adults with disabilities can earn with dignity.
Who can seek support?
