A Vision for change
As a part of our CSR initiative, we have partnered with GiftAbled, a social enterprise that works towards empowering people with disabilities and making a real difference in their lives. It helps them become more self-reliant in every aspect of their lives and enables them to live with dignity and respect.
Cisco in collaboration with GiftAbled.org is recording audio books for the visually impaired. Through this initiative, we will be able to take a person with visual impairment on a beautiful journey through the art of narration. It can be a story, an academic book or even an Encyclopaedia.
How can you volunteer?
- You can pick from a plethora of stories and pledge to record an audio story
- These stories will be available on a web link for you to choose from
- Your voice will be your gift to this NGO
We will also be sourcing giveaways from them which empowers artisans with disabilities to become more financially independent.
Come and be a part of our CSR engagement. Let’s open the doors of possibilities that can transform communities.
Know more about GiftAbled.
