Direct beneficiaries are disabled people who will be better integrated into society. In Argentina, 2.2 million people live with a disability. Most live under the poverty line, which worsens their condition. The unemployment index is three times higher in disabled people. One of 5 homes (20.6%) has a member with a disability.

Activities

800 university students planning human resource careers will become conscious of employment obstacles for the disabled.

Disabled people´s lives are limited by inaccessibility, lack of appropriate infrastructure and prejudice from a society that does not value its diversity.
