ABOUT YES! WE CAN

Yes! We Can Trust is a registered non-government entity operating on the national level under the Indian Trust Act of 1882 Govt. of NCT Delhi since 2013(IN-DL99693529699521L). Our founding members, Meenu Mani and Samuel Mani were inspired by their own disabilities to form this operational organization. We have observed that despite a number of welfare programmes being carried out for differently-abled persons, the desired impact on the lives of these persons is not being felt especially by themselves, at the ground level. Therefore, being an operational NGO, we like to implement those empowering projects which really impact their daily lives. Their constant feedback is our driving force behind the selection of these projects. However, implementing such projects requires a great deal of planning and communication at all levels.

OUR MISSION AND VISION

Our motto: ‘See the label, not the label.’ ‘It is not important how much we doubt it is important that we should do it wholeheartedly and passionately.’

Our vision: our endeavour is to empower various differently-abled persons such that they become part of an inclusive society where they are not looked down upon as a burden but actively participate in every social activity by seeking understanding, cooperation, love, and respect from everyone and they can also celebrate and enjoy their lives. However, certain social perceptions and attitudes towards such persons have to be changed, besides working on accessible infrastructure, to fulfil this vision. As a small initiative in this direction, we have started holding events and get-togethers for differently-abled persons. We also sensitize society through other online and offline modes. Our intention is also to motivate and instil confidence in these persons by effectively bringing them out in society despite their respective limitations. We feel such an exercise will also provide real feedback on the effectiveness of various ongoing empowering facilities and measures.
