ABBF’s sole reason to be is to build an inclusive world for persons with and without disability.By organising outdoor sports activities, we encourage dialogue and build empathy between persons with and without disability. For all participants, these interactions result in enhanced life skills, increased self confidence, better social skills, and a heightened awareness of the need for an equitable world.
At nineteen, Divyanshu Ganatra lost his eyesight to glaucoma. Despite the challenges, he pursued a career as a clinical psychologist and became India’s first blind pilot. Why? Because he simply could not reconcile with what the world was trying to tell him: that the rest of his life would be spent making cane furniture and chalk pieces. And this need to do more, be more, say more was what led to the birth of Adventures Beyond Barriers Foundation (ABBF). An organisation aimed at eradicating the stigma that surrounds disability even today.
In effect, Divyanshu lost his sight, but gained a vision: to promote empathy and inclusivity for all; to create a world where no one is left behind. And that is the very heart of ABBF.
Here are just a few of the partners we’ve found on our journey to an equitable, empathetic, open world.
