We are a group of people with disabilities, the project started in 1991. The project accommodates all groups of disabled people, because of high rate of unemployment in our community, more than 80% of people living with disabilities are uneducated, have no jobs and others are living in extreme poverty, in unsafe environments. Lack of good access to proper services and other community facilities hinders the development of our people and there are hardly any opportunities for them in our community. This group was established in order to provide our people with different skills and encourage them to do things for themselves.

Our aims and objectives are formed to empower a person living with disabilities with skills for their every day living, to create jobs for them and to give them a sense of belonging in the community.
We are providing a drop-in project for the benefit of all persons with disabilities mostly and the community youth. The sole purpose of this drop-in center will provide social opportunity and services for persons with all types of disabilities, with the ones living in poverty being the main target. Clients helping out around the center will be optional; however we propose to have a stipends for those who do help out around the center. Activities offered by the center provided by the centre could include different types of workshops about topics such as different areas of life skills, education, job creation, art classes to help the members get to know their community better.
