Handicap person inclusion is the process of ensuring that people with disabilities have equal opportunities and access to all aspects of society, such as education, employment, health, and participation. At United Partners for Humanitarian Welfare (UPHWO), we are committed to promoting handicap person inclusion and to supporting the rights and dignity of people with disabilities.

We provide a range of services to enhance handicap person inclusion. These include:

• Accessibility: We improve the physical and digital accessibility of public and private spaces, such as schools, workplaces, health centers, and transport systems. We also provide assistive devices and technologies, such as wheelchairs, hearing aids, and software, to enable people with disabilities to overcome barriers and to communicate effectively.

• Education: We support the inclusive education of children and adults with disabilities, by providing them with quality and adapted learning materials, training teachers and educators, and facilitating their integration and interaction with their peers. We also advocate for the implementation of inclusive education policies and standards, and for the elimination of discrimination and stigma in the education system.

• Employment: We facilitate the inclusion of people with disabilities in the labor market, by providing them with vocational training, career guidance, and job placement services. We also work with employers and businesses to create inclusive and accessible workplaces, and to raise awareness on the benefits and rights of hiring people with disabilities.

• Participation: We empower people with disabilities to participate and contribute in their families and communities, by enhancing their social and civic skills, and by creating opportunities for them to engage in cultural, recreational, and political activities. We also support the organizations and networks of people with disabilities, and help them to advocate for their rights and interests.

We also work to address the root causes and drivers of exclusion and discrimination of people with disabilities, such as poverty, inequality, and lack of awareness. We raise awareness and sensitize the public and the stakeholders on the situation and the potential of people with disabilities, and on the importance of handicap person inclusion for the development and the well-being of society. We also collaborate with the authorities and other actors to implement and enforce laws and policies that protect and empower people with disabilities, and that promote handicap person inclusion.

We are not just an organization, we are a movement. We are united by our passion and dedication to promote handicap person inclusion, and to support the rights and dignity of every person. Join us today and help us make a difference in the lives of people with disabilities in Burundi.
