Help a Person with a Disability Build Greater Independence

For people with disabilities living in poverty, barriers to education and employment can make it difficult to earn a dependable income. Without opportunities to build skills and find meaningful work, they can face greater economic dependence and vulnerability to neglect, abuse, and exploitation.

For $250, you can help provide job training for a person with a disability, equipping them with practical skills and support to pursue meaningful employment and greater independence.

Skills Open Doors to Opportunity

Every person deserves the opportunity to develop their abilities and contribute their talents.

Your gift helps provide vocational and computer skills, job-readiness training, and employment support designed to help a person with a disability prepare for the workplace and pursue sustainable employment.

Training can turn ability into opportunity—and opportunity into greater independence.

Employment Can Reduce Vulnerability

When disability and poverty intersect, limited access to employment can leave a person dependent on others for basic needs. That economic vulnerability can increase the risk of exploitation and limit a person's choices for the future.

Meaningful employment can help change that. Earning an income can provide greater financial stability, increased independence, and more opportunity to make decisions about one's own life.

See Ability. Create Opportunity.

A disability should not determine a person's potential or limit their opportunity to build a meaningful future.

Your $250 gift can help equip a person with practical skills, job readiness, and employment support—creating a pathway toward meaningful work, greater independence, and reduced vulnerability to exploitation.
