From Sense India to the world, two stories of inclusion.

We are happy to share that two articles written by members of Sense International India have been featured in the latest edition of the Deafblind International Review (DbI) the magazine of Deafblind International.

Sachin Rizal writes about how sports can be so much more than recreation. Through Sense India's journey, the article explores how accessible sports are helping persons with deafblindness and multiple disabilities build confidence, strengthen social connections and discover new possibilities.

Shrutilata Singh shares the story of the Udaan Fellowship Programme—an initiative that is creating pathways to independence by nurturing leadership, skills, livelihoods and self-belief among persons with deafblindness.

Congratulations to Sachin Rizal and Shruti for sharing these experiences with the global deafblind community. We hope these stories spark conversations, inspire new ideas, and encourage more inclusive practices across the world.

It's an uncomfortable question. But perhaps the more important one is: What does it take to transform one?

Behind every child with deafblindness who learns to communicate, every young adult who secures meaningful employment, and every family that begins to see possibility instead of barriers, is years of commitment, skilled professionals, innovation, partnerships, and sustained investment.

At Sense International India, we know that lasting inclusion cannot be built on empathy alone. It requires investing in people, systems, and solutions that create opportunities for persons with deafblindness to live independent and dignified lives.

In the latest feature in Open Magazine explores why the business of selling hope is about much more than fundraising. It challenges us to rethink how we value social impact and recognise that hope becomes meaningful only when it is backed by action.

A thoughtful and beautifully written piece by Rajiv Singh, based on his conversation with Biju Mathew, COO, Sense International India, and Nafeeza Pavri, Head – Strategic Partnerships, on why investing in inclusion is ultimately an investment in people.

What does a life cost? It is a question that has followed Biju Mathew for three decades, from conversations with his future in-laws about choosing a career in the social sector to corporate boardrooms deciding CSR budgets.
