Building inclusive pathways to employment, enterprise and economic independence.
Economic inclusion is about more than earning an income. It is about creating opportunities for persons with disabilities to build businesses, access decent work, strengthen financial independence, and participate fully in Kenya's economy.
Talent exists. Opportunity doesn't always.
Persons with disabilities continue to face significant barriers to employment, entrepreneurship, vocational training, and financial inclusion. Many possess the skills and ambition to succeed but remain excluded by inaccessible systems, discrimination, limited workplace opportunities, and inadequate access to business support.
Economic empowerment requires more than skills training. It requires creating pathways that connect people to real opportunities.
Five pathways to economic inclusion
Employability & Career Readiness
Preparing young persons with disabilities for meaningful employment through vocational training, workplace readiness, internships, mentorship, and employer engagement.
Entrepreneurship Development
Supporting entrepreneurs with business planning, enterprise management, financial literacy, and business incubation.
Digital Skills for the Future
Building digital literacy, online business skills, and technology confidence that increase employability and enterprise growth.
Financial Inclusion
Strengthening savings, financial management, investment, and access to economic opportunities.
Inclusive Markets & Partnerships
Working with employers, government, and the private sector to expand employment opportunities and inclusive economic participation.
