Breaking Barriers
Across The Country.
Year After Year.

To our incredible community of supporters, The world today feels heavy. Between geopolitical shifts and global uncertainty, it is easy to feel small. Yet, as I look back on this past year at ABBF, I am reminded that while we cannot control the wind, we can certainly adjust our sails—and we have done so with more heart and collective strength than ever before.

This year, our mission to bridge the gap between People with Disabilities (PwDs) and the world at large reached a beautiful milestone. Through our curated inclusive outdoor adventures—from the rhythmic push of tandem cycling and the quiet grit of hiking to the shared warmth of camping and running—we directly engaged over 3,000 PwDs and welcomed over 7,000 allies. These aren't just statistics; they are 10,000 individual stories of barriers broken and perspectives shifted.

A shining highlight was the second edition of Run InSync, which has grown into the world’s largest inclusive running experience. It wasn't a race to a finish line, but a journey toward belonging. To our corporate and CSR partners, and the NGO community who collaborated so beautifully with us—you didn’t just offer support; you helped create a space where everyone, regardless of ability, stands as an equal.

But if you ask me what truly fills me with hope, it is our "Help A Child Walk" programme where we provide prosthetics and orthotics devices. There is no greater privilege than witnessing transformation in its purest form, right in front of your eyes. To see a child who once couldn’t walk, play, or go to school take those first, life-changing steps is a miracle... I never tire of watching. We aren't just giving them mobility; we are giving them their childhood and their dignity back.

As we look to the horizon, our vision is manifesting in the hills near Dhanep, Velhe at Kintsugi, our upcoming outdoor adventure sports and training center. Named after the Japanese art of repairing broken pottery with gold, Kintsugi represents our philosophy—that there is immense beauty and strength in our scars and our differences.

None of this would be possible without you. Whether you are an individual donor or a CSR partner, your trust is the fuel for our fire. You chose to invest in empathy and mainstreaming during a time when it would have been easier to look away.

What keeps me going is the certainty that, together, we are creating a world where no one is left behind—a world where people with and without disabilities come together as equals and truly belong.

With deep gratitude and unwavering hope,
