Google has launched a $20m fund for nonprofits that are using technology to improve the lives of those with physical disabilities.
Through Google Impact Challenge, Google.org provides grants to startups working in the charitable sector, and has now launched one aimed squarely at helping the “one billion people that society is not designed to serve”. According to UNICEF stats Google cites, only five percent of children with disabilities complete primary school, while a World Health Organisation survey found half of all those living with disabilities cannot afford healthcare.
