Livelihood and Inclusion programs empowering persons with disabilities out of poverty and exclusion
We implement our Programs in partnership with local partners, such as CBOs, economic actors, local institutions, MFIs, in Kenya and East Africa.
At least 50% of TAI Programs beneficiaries are women. They receive child care support while participating in our Programs.
The Micro Enterprise Incubator
Young adults with disabilities who have entrepreneurial ideas, but lack the skills and the funds for starting their business, participate in this Program which fosters the self-employment of persons with disabilities.
The free provision of SafariSeat is paired with support to set up a Micro Enterprise, including Vocational Training, ILO Micro Enterprise Management training, business management coaching, and access to microcredit and microgrants. TAI beneficiaries have so far set-up income generating activities such as convenience shops, shoemaking, tailoring, phone repairing, bakery, beauty salon.
Besides opening the door to income generation, the Micro Enterprise Incubator initiates a positive loop of financial inclusion: the business financing can build credit history for further access to capital for sustaining, and even growing, business activity.
The Employment Incubator
Persons with disabilities in working age who have no marketable skills are participating in this Program, which aims at their inclusion in the formal workforce.
SafariSeat is provided to the beneficiaries, who then receive certified Vocational Training leading to their increased employability. Support to job search follows the Training.
To assure that the Vocational Trainings are in line with the market needs, and that the acquired skills translate into jobs, the Program counts on the collaboration of employers committed to the inclusion of persons with disabilities in the workforce.
Inclusion in Aid and Development Programs
Persons with disabilities are often missed out in Humanitarian Aid and Development Programs, for the lack of the assistive technology enabling them to take part in the Programs activities.
By adopting TAI mobility, productivity and working devices, International Organizations and Local Institutions in Africa can include persons with disabilities in their Programs.
Schooling and Inclusion Programs
School attendance is a fundamental pillar for nurturing children’s intellectual development, self-confidence and social skills, and for developing personal and professional skills for future economic self-reliance.Access for children with disabilities to the public education system does not happen in a vacuum and requires deep understanding and commitment by all involved stakeholders.
We will provide the SafariKid to children and we seek to partner with organizations focusing on children well-being and inclusion, to train and engage parents, teachers, classmates, and the community in creating an environment to welcome and support them in the public schooling system
