The Disability NGOs Alliance (DNA)is working with the aim of establishing a society with equal opportunities for all and empowering people with disabi Read morelities. It was founded by leading disability organisations in Karnataka. DNA carries out its initiatives with NGOs where there is insufficient welfare mechanism for PWDs, by acting as a bridge between NGOs, institutions, and the Government. It plays a crucial role in advocating for policy changes and legal reforms that support the rights of PWDs and has a membership of 160 organisations from all over Karnataka that has impacted the lives of 30,000 PWDs, including those with physical and mental disabilities, blood-related disorders, rare disease etc. It has created a platform where disability NGOs and experts train smaller and emerging NGOs to improve and develop the lives of PWDs through workshops, weekly learning sessions etc. It has associated itself with the State and Local government agencies and has a partnership with the Dhwani Foundation. Through these associations, it has worked on various initiatives, including Covid Vaccination Drives. It aims to build a larger network of NGOs to impact the lives of 100,000 people with disabilities in the next 5 years.
