The meaning of the word ‘Solution’...

…is to find an alternative method of overcoming a challenge by working around the problem, in order to live a life of dignity and independence. It could be a product, workflow, or a unique way of doing something that enables a person to perform the task they normally would have difficulty in accomplishing.

Many of us use such simple yet innovative solutions in our day-to-day lives, sometimes without even realizing its importance. Persons with disabilities and their caregiver’s or family members are no exemption to this. However, such solutions mostly remain undocumented.

Project Discovery is a platform aimed at collating different solutions in the form of short videos and making them available to ALL.
