Adventures Beyond Barriers Foundation

Adventures Beyond Barriers Foundation (ABBF) is a not for profit organization that promotes Disability Inclusion and Empowerment through sports. Through adaptive adventure and sports activities, we provide opportunities for people (with and without disability) to come together and experience the adrenaline and camaraderie that only sport has to offer. By spending time outdoors together, we hope to achieve two things –

1. Spread awareness that the spirit of adventure is not impeded by disability
2. Ward off common misconceptions about disability that stem from ignorance and feed popular social stereotypes.

ABBF was founded by Divyanshu Ganatra - a clinical psychologist and corporate facilitator by profession, adventure sportsperson by passion and a self-made social entrepreneur. He also happens to be India's first blind solo paragliding pilot.
Through our outdoor sessions and collaborations, we aim to provide more visibility for people with disability, promoting an environment of openness, sensitivity and empathy. The organic change that we have witnessed is generation of employment opportunities for PwDs. We participate in a range of adventure activities including marathons and running events, tandem cycling, scuba diving, paragliding, trekking and mountaineering.
