The main purpose of our existence is to break the societal stereotypical norms and behaviors about disability and people living with disability, to create a better place for people living with disability in our society.  We also advocate the equality between people living with disability and average people by bridging the gap, by educating them about the life of a disabled person than the way we are taught about disability. We believe that disability is not a disease nor a curse, but it is a gift, that help us to achieve more than we are told to achieve because we are intellectually capable and smart as average people. We are as deserving of a success that we desire the same as average people.

RELEVANCE

Our relevance is essential because we aim to help empower and build confidence in a disabled person, in order to do better in life; socially, economically and politically, without to having to rely on anyone for assistance, as this will improve their self image. This too, will help them to be exposed to good and meaningful business and economic relations and networks to be independent and recognized in the society. It will help them meet their daily goals in all areas of their lives

Another reason why we want to help improve the lives of people living with disability is because of the situations they are exposed to daily, where they are rarely spoken about and overlooked by the society. Such situations are:

Unemployment

South Africa, has high level of youth unemployment, this includes people living with disability. However, people living with disability, including elderly people, are not considered in terms of employment. Even though the country has given amendments to companies; to include 2% of disabled people to work with them,  the majority lies ahead, where most disabled people do not have a stable job and income, which resorts them to heavily rely on disability grant. This takes away their freedom of not having to make networking’s that could expose them to have a better life financially. Many companies do not hire people living with disability, due to lack of training and equipment to cater, as this needs to be heavily addressed.

Negligence in Public Health Sector

Due to governmental negligence, People living with disability are not given proper medication and medical services due to the lack of skills the Public Health Workers have, because they are not well equip and trained to cater the needs of people living with disability. Sometimes, the necessary medical supplies become unavailable which negatively impacts the health of a disabled person.

Not being Accepted In The Society

Even though times have changed, we are evolving and growing as the society and letting go of concepts that no longer work for us, people still hold on to old mythological concepts about disability, hence why they do not assist people living with disability. This is even worse for people living disability in intimate spaces such as family households; where they view disability as disgust, hence they are not treated fairly by their family members.

This also goes far as to the media and entertainment industry, as the pillar of the society and the kind of social influence it has over the people, it suppose to eradicate negative concepts about disability, by practicing inclusion towards those who are living with disability to correct such harmful behaviors. Many people living with disability in the media and entertainment industry are being discriminated against based on how they look and communicate. They are not allowed to partake in certain roles and responsibilities due to the industry itself focuses on the Marketing and Financial aspect of things by continuing pleasing the audience than doing its job

We are slowly taking over the media and entertainment industry hence your financial assistance will help us to do more than that. As this will help our beneficiaries which are people living with disability. We are questioning and removing concepts that are placed in our society about disability, to empower people living with disability socially, economically and politically. To build their self image, by giving them a platform to voice their concerns through media and entertainment, in order to change the thought of disability into a positive one.

Our objectives and expected results for our beneficiaries is to empower them both socially, economically and politically. To boost their self image, by acclimatizing them with average people to be on the same playing field equally

This will provide them with a source of employment and skills to be economically and socially independent which will boost their self image and confidence. It will also expose them to meaningful business and economic networks that will build them positively as it will make them recognized and included in the society
