In the light of the relevant economic, social and environmental factors in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Kadiwaku Family Foundation will work towards helping to address accessibility in all spheres of life and will empower persons with disabilities through the application of economic concepts and an entrepreneurial approach in order to enhance their quality of life and living standards. Working together with organizations for persons with disabilities, companies and other partners involved in championing and promoting the rights of persons with disabilities, Kadiwaku Family Foundation is implementing a programme enabling persons with disabilities to participate in entrepreneurship training and to receive financial support in order to develop a sense of autonomy, since entrepreneurship can help persons with disabilities participate in the job market and be socially and economically active, as far as possible, depending on their situation.
