A new project involving Livability, a Christian-affiliated charity that supports people with disabilities, aims to give adults with spinal chord injuries more financial independence.<\/p>\n

http:\/\/www.spinalcordinjuryzone.com\/news\/12344\/brave-claire-launches-charity-autobiography<\/a><\/p>\n

According to the article:<\/p>\n

Adults with SCI [spinal cord injury] face barriers to employment with a global unemployment rate of more than 60%. They also are two to five times more likely to die prematurely.<\/i><\/p>\n

This just shows how many areas of their lives paralysed people face difficulties in. The impact of spinal injury on people\u2019s physical, emotional and financial wellbeing is severe.<\/p>\n

The employment programme mentioned in the article aims to get 80 disabled people jobs or starting their own businesses within a year. It is run by Livability and the Spinal Injury Rehabilitation Centre in Nepal and received a grant of \u00a36,000 from the Lloyds TSB Foundation for Northern Ireland<\/p>\n

At nsif\u00a0we fully support these efforts focused on improving the quality of life of people living with paralysis, and wish these organisations the best of luck in their fundraising and project.<\/p>\n

We also however believe in a cure for paralysis. We believe it\u2019s possible and something worth working towards. Click here<\/a> to see the exciting research we are supporting and help us in our fight!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
