people with disabilities through independent mobility.
Meet Chennajiamma
Chennajiamma, from Chamrajnagar, Karnataka, contracted polio at five years old and lost the use of her legs. With her family’s support, she completed her 10th-grade education and learned tailoring, which became her source of income. Her life transformed when she got access to a wheelchair through a collaborative initiative between Margadarshi and Motivation India, drastically reducing her commute time to work and enhancing her mobility. In 2023, she gained further independence by purchasing two tailoring machines and generating a steady income by stitching clothes. To know more about it, watch her story here.
