Project Spoorthi for the differently abled requires donation of equipment

Donations of equipment needed for project Spoorthi
Spoorthi empowerment through Self help mutual groups and micro credit activities is an unique project of Department for differently abled persons and senior citizens. Government of Karnataka has implemented the project through CBR NETWORK (South Asia).The projects is implemented in 176 block of Karnataka in 30 districts. Approximately 7000 persons with disabilities are benefitted from this project.
We have trained 360 member resource team in a a team of 12 members consisting of Multipurpose rehabilitation workers, district facilitator and district level NGOs and the government at district level to implement the project effectively.
Training manuals in Kannada, digital materials Individual employment programme(First of its kind in disability sector)is developed to ensure the project achieve the planned goals. We wish to move away from stereo typed jobs such as brush making, candle making pickle making and develop employment based on aptitude and ability of individual with disability. Nearly half of the members are women in Spoorthi project.
We have chosen two small group employment enterprises which is supporting the policy of paper less technology of the Government of India and hygienic management of woman health by producing low cost sanitary towels in rural areas by women with disabilities. NANO Spoorthi digitalization centers will be established at Taluk level in the first phase. More than 90% of youth with disabilities in spoorthi project come from every community. Availing Bank loan to buy equipments is a challenging task as they cannot fulfill the Bank's requirement. There is a revolving fund of Rs 25,000 per taluk which is largely inadequate to set up the digitization units, E learning centers for children with disabilities (Elearning library),browsing centre, email and fax services as an income generation for groups of 6-10 persons with disabilities.
We request your esteemed company to give us the following equipment free of cost or at a nominal cost:
1. Old and used computers/lap tops 2. Old and used scanner and printers 3. Old and used fax machines 4. Old and used stabilizers 5. Used rewritable CDs and DVDs Our requirement 10 computers per talukx175 taluks 1 scanner cum printerx175 taluks 1 fax machinesx175 taluks 10 stabilzers x 175 taluks 100 cds/dvds per talukx175 taluks
We plan to use these equipments to set NANO units at taluk level. We should be happy to use your company stickers acknowledging your contribution to this noble project. We can raise money to pay nominal charges for the used computers.
