KIR Foundation Inclusive Resource and Rehabilitation Community Centre
KIR Foundation constantly looks for opportunities to promote the right to inclusion of the disability community in all developmental issues because they are the 'poorest of the poor' in society and have fewer opportunities than other marginalized groups. Our belief is that no one should be left behind in self-development. That is why as an organization we embrace initiatives that promote the rights of persons with disabilities. Our Centre consists of an inclusive vocational workshop for our target beneficiaries, a creative ability unit for persons with disabilities that will rehabilitate and provide recreation for the beneficiaries, a Resource Centre/ Library, a training room and administrative offices.
The mission of the Centre is to rehabilitate, and to promote the inclusion of people with disabilities in developmental issues and projects and to provide them access to educational resources. And also to develop collaborative and on-going relationships with self-advocates with disabilities, as well as all stakeholders including but not limited to government, nongovernmental, faith based and corporate organizations, educational institutions and agencies to initiate sustainable systems and change around inclusion.
In order to accomplish this mission, the Inclusive Community Centre is dedicated to:
- Providing a range of programs on ICT, entrepreneurship, leadership and vocational training that enables persons with disabilities have the opportunity to interact with people without disabilities to gain self-confidence and share skills.
- Creating an enabling environment for persons with disabilities to get rehabilitated, recreate and interact away from the discrimination that permeates the Nigerian society.
