Low-cost battery-operated wheelchair vehicles will be provided to the specially-abled candidates, which will help them cover a distance of up to 10 km for delivering groceries, medicines and food products.
GRAB, a tech-abled last-mile logistics company has announced the launch of a new project called 'Livelihood on Wheels' that aims to provide livelihood opportunities for differently-abled candidates.
GRAB has launched this initiative in collaboration with Youth4Jobs and NeoMotion Assistive Solutions Pvt Ltd.
Youth4Jobs is an NGO that will assist GRAB to identify the candidates depending on the job role and level of disability faced by the individual. The NGO will understand the nature of employment and remuneration defined by GRAB and explain to the candidate during the identification stage, acting as a coordinator between the two ends.
NeoMotion is the mobility provider and will give mobility equipment to the candidates employed by GRAB. It will also train the candidates on the safe usage of the equipment provided to them, according to India CSR.
