Furthermore, the organization is actively involved in rights education, facilitating access to essential health services, promoting education, and generating income opportunities, with a particular focus on individuals with disabilities (PWDs).Moreover, SASSS has initiated numerous income-generation programs aimed at improving the well-being of economically disadvantaged individuals. These initiatives have played a significant role in fostering community development.
Notably, SASSS has taken substantial strides in catering to the needs of PWDs. It has established an accredited therapy center specializing in early intervention and a dedicated school tailored to the unique requirements of children with disabilities. This holistic approach underscores SASSS’s commitment to addressing the multifaceted challenges faced by individuals with disabilities. 
In summary, SASSS’s journey since its inception in 1977 has been marked by unwavering dedication to providing healthcare, fostering community health development, and championing the rights and well-being of marginalized populations, particularly individuals with disabilities.
