We developed four dimensions to help achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), the Convention on the Rights of Persons living with Disabilities (CRPD) and the Government of Nepal's Youths Vision 2025
The Problem
Youths and Young adults living with disabilities live at the margins of society. They are deprived of access to a quality education and equal opportunities to find a job. As a consequence, they end up unemployed, unable to contribute to their families and development of the country.
The Solution
ENGAGE has created a blended approach for youths and young adults living with disabilities to get EMPOWERED and gain ROLE within the society.
We kick start a pathway for change, involving them through sport playing, building their skills,
connecting them with opportunities in the job market and helping them creating their businesses. We call this ENGAGE Empowers Program. We proactively use volunteerism, awareness making to achieve our goals. All this is demand based, a youth or young adult with disabilities can pick and choose to be involved or build her skills or to be connected or to create a new venture or do all this together.
