Disability Empowerment.

Our Disability Empowerment programme is aimed at innovators, social entrepreneurs, institutions and social enterprises whose innovations focus on providing solutions for persons with disabilities.

The Disability Empowerment Awards are an extensions of our Social Innovations Awards, and support innovators and entrepreneurs with grant funding, tailored mentorship and business development.

In partnership with the Medunsa Organisation for Disabled Entrepreneurs (MODE), at a grassroots level we also work to equip persons with disabilities with skills and knowledge. This serves as a pipeline for entrepreneurs with disabilities for the Tholoana Enterprise Programme.
