Economically empowering communities through inclusive collaborations.
We believe that no one should be disenfranchised by circumstance or condition in achieving economic empowerment. Sustainable self reliance remains our ultimate objective.

Our Impact
InBusiness Program
InBusiness (Inclusive Business) program focuses on economically empowering micro entrepreneurs with disabilities through capacity building in the business skills, technical skills, self advocacy skills and linking these skilled entrepreneurs to the bigger market. The aim of this linkage is to place micro entrepreneurs with disabilities in the value chain, be it as suppliers, distributors or in any other role. Through InBusiness program, public and private sector institutions play a significant role in meaningfully and gainfully engaging with persons with disabilities, by taking a step towards their inclusion journey. This program is funded by Inclusive Futures by UK Aid, Huisman Foundation and Argidius Foundation.

Why Inclusion?
Our approach to impact measurement
Monitoring and Evaluation is a significant part of what we do within the InBusiness Initiative. We use various tools to document everything we do so that we can collect evidence, learn lessons from each program and ultimately prepare a guide with good practices made available for everyone that envisions an inclusive society and works towards it.
