Able the Disabled
Nobody is perfect, and every single human being living on earth deserves the chance to succeed and showcase different projects and innovations that might lead the world into a better place.
Here at MyOffice, we cater to this issue via our main initiative called “Able the Disabled”, in which we fully support disabled people to be involved in the labor force, grow a business and become CEOs of the future.
MyOffice shall provide its services to a number of Lebanese individuals with disabilities with outstanding ambition, helping to ensure a fair chance at creating a foundation for their future.
Common Issues Disabled People Face:
- Cannot function well or at all outside their comfort zone due to their disability.
- Cannot manage some or all of the regular business functions and/or office management & responsibilities
Based on the above identified case, we would like to firmly note that our proposed “Able the Disabled” initiative shall seriously reinforce both the Lebanese economy and the people with disabilities by acting as a countermeasure to their existing obstacles and thus help in creating more business opportunities all over Lebanon leading to a stronger economy. Also and most importantly, when we closely examine these types of beneficiaries, we discover that we can turn this workforce from a negative load in Lebanon to a national positive outcome by helping them set up their own businesses while remaining in their comfort zones and environments.
Defining the identity of this type of Beneficiaries:
People with disabilities whereas a disability is a complex, multi-dimensional human experience that often resists definition and measurement, refers to a physical, sensory or mental limitation that interferes with a person’s ability to move, see, hear or learn; a handicap refers to a condition or barrier imposed by the environment, society or oneself.
Status and obstacles facing this type of Beneficiaries in Lebanon:
- People with disabilities face attitudinal and environmental barriers to participation in many areas of life.
- People with disabilities have no right in education: when disabled people are denied education, and not their disabilities that limit them. A disproportionately large number of adults and children with disabilities live in residential institutions which isolate them from daily life.
- Compared with the general population, persons with disabilities had low levels of educational attainment. 38.2% could not read or write, compared with 11.3% in the general population.
- People with disabilities have inactive participation in the community. 10 to 15% of the Lebanese population living with disability only 17% is employed.
- Unequal human rights and fundamental freedoms and access to health.
- No access to information.
- Finally, Persons with disabilities have to work harder to address their exclusion from education, employment, transport systems and healthcare.
- The cause of all problems experienced by people with disabilities, in 2000, Lebanon adopted Law 220 on the Rights of Disabled Persons (Law 220/2000).
- States Parties shall take all appropriate measures to ensure that persons with disabilities can exercise the right to freedom of expression and opinion, including the freedom to seek, receive and impart information and ideas on an equal basis with others and through all forms of communication of their choice, as defined in article 2 of the present Convention but first of all the society should accepting and understanding the problem.
- The law is mainly built around a set of rights integrating citizens with disabilities into social and economic life, through employment, transport and housing quotas, and guarantees of health and educational services.
- Law 220/2000 says: ‘the entire world has come to believe that every person, whatever his physical or intellectual capacities have the right to enjoy life on an equal basis with others’.
Intersection between our “Able the Disabled” initiative & services:
Our initiative shall greatly award people with disabilities in Lebanon on the middle to long term by taking into consideration their needs for Low cost, Consultancy, Guidance, Privacy and Professionalism and by providing them with the respective and needed business tools in Lebanon such as a corporate identity and private Address to conduct all their private business meetings and receive all their mail and faxes far from friends and public.
