NOTHING ABOUT US WITHOUT US
About 1 billion people around the world live with a disability – that’s roughly 15% of our global population.
On the December 3 each year we celebrate International Day of People with Disabilities. In 1981 the United Nations proclaimed this as a recognised day for the celebration of the achievements of people living with disabilities across the world. It is also a day upon which we promote awareness of the challenges faced by over 1 billion people living with disabilities, and the role communities and societies play in accelerating the eradication of barriers to social inclusion, equity, participation and citizenship.
IDPWD EVENT PACKS
Sponsor an IDPWD day at your workplace: we will provide Corporate Kits which includes shirts, balloons, wrist bands and banners, corporate marketing/ promotional materials and corporate invitations.
SOCIAL ENTERPRISE GRANTS
Funds raised through the purchase of Kits are directly used to support the creation and ongoing success of Social Enterprises, which are businesses owned and operated by people with disabilities.
UNITED NATIONS AWARENESS DAYS
These are the international days currently observed by the United Nations. The United Nations designates specific days, weeks, years and decades as occasions to mark particular events or topics in order to promote, through awareness and action, the objectives of the Organization.
