Challenge

People with disabilities confront technological accessibility and communication barriers that limit their education, employment, independent living and inclusion in society. This results in isolation and unprecedented poverty within people with disabilities globally.

Solution

Providing people with disabilities with assistive technology equipment will help reduce the barriers they confront daily by facilitating access to reading, computer use, communication devices, etc., to promote education, job readiness and their inclusion in all aspects of society.

Long-Term Impact

Accessibility awareness will help promote consciousness of the need of accessible digital access for people with disabilities on all aspects that may improve the development of their full capacity. Accessible education and job opportunities, with improved communication alternatives, will give them an opportunity to thrive and contribute to society, reduce poverty and improve their living conditions.
