Microenterprise People

Microenterprise People Our network of customised employment specialists work to improve outcomes for people with disability.
(2)

Our Objectives:
- Work with Microenterprise owners with disability to achieve their employment goals.
- Promote and celebrate the employment success of people with disability.
- Work with businesses and organisations to improve the access for people with disability to be employed and/or enter their supply chains.
- To facilitate the exchange of experience, skills and resources between people with disabilities from a peer perspective and a wider community perspective. Our Values:
- A microenterprise or employment must deliver on the person's values, providing they are legal.
- We will not highlight any individual unless their employment is sustainable and meets their values.
- We strive to continually build the capacity of the people we work with, in order to minimise the amount of support they require to have meaningful employment.
- The person with disability is at the centre of everything we do. Their voice shall be what guides us and ultimately has the greatest weight in all decision making.
- We use supported decision making practices and strive to promote these wherever possible.
- We seek to include the input and experience of people's formal and informal supports as appropriate.
- We acknowledge and honour the fundamental value and dignity of all individuals. We believe in the creation and maintenance of an environment that respects diverse abilities, traditions, heritages and experiences.
- We do what we say we will do and are transparent in all our activities.
- We will never seek to make a revenue directly from a person's microenterprise or wage unless it is to pay for an expense directly related to the person.
- We will promote and advocate for a community that is diverse and inclusive of all people.

The counter is filled with handmade Christmas items, including mosaic tree and Santa decorations, small ornaments, packaged gifts, and rows of colourful cards. A large, vibrant bird painting hangs on a pink gradient wall behind them, and the decorations and products have a subtle sparkling effect that makes the whole display look extra bright and festive.

✨ Why handmade is better… ✨
When you choose handmade skincare, you choose more than a product.
You choose quality, authenticity, and the heart of the person who crafted it.

Every moisturiser, cream, and soap at Sham’s Beauty Products is made in small batches — with care, patience, and love. 💜🌿

Thank you for supporting local, natural, handmade products.
And thank you for supporting a disability-owned small business that puts heart into everything we make. 💛
