Be the change that you wish to see

THE WORLD IS SUCH A BEAUTIFUL PLACE, AND EVERYONE SHOULD HAVE THE RIGHT TO HAVE A TASTE OF IT. SADLY, THERE IS A GROUP OF PEOPLE WHO MAY NEVER HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO SEE AND EXPERIENCE THE THINGS THAT THE REST OF US DO. THERE ARE SO MANY PEOPLE AROUND US WHO ARE IN NEED OF OUR HELP, AND IT IS TIME FOR US TO ACT NOW.

About I care.

Millions of disabled people face a life of poverty and exclusion.

WE EXIST TO CHANGE THAT.

TOGETHER WE CAN HAVE A BIGGER IMPACT.

There’s a global disability crisis.

And it is time to act.

DISABLED PEOPLE LIVING IN POVERTY ARE AMONG THE MOST STIGMATISED
AND MARGINALISED PEOPLE ON EARTH.THEY OFTEN LIVE IN ISOLATION AND
ARE EXCLUDED FROM THEIR COMMUNITIES, FROM THE EDUCATION SYSTEM,
FROM HEALTHCARE AND OTHER VITAL SERVICES. SOMETIMES, THEY’RE EVEN
HIDDEN AWAY BY THEIR FAMILIES.

What causes the problem?

DISABILITY INEQUALITY IS A COMPLEX PROBLEM THAT REQUIRES URGENT
ACTION ON MULTIPLE FRONTS. OUR WORK IS ONE STRAND OF FOCUSED ACTION
THAT TACKLES THE FOLLOWING KEY BARRIERS TO INCLUSION.

Disability and Poverty.

DISABILITY AND POVERTY FUEL EACH OTHER IN A CYCLE OF HARDSHIP AND
DEPRIVATION WHICH IS HARD TO ESCAPE. DISABLED PEOPLE ARE MORE LIKELY
TO LIVE IN POVERTY. THEY FACE MULTIPLE BARRIERS TO ACCESSING EDUCATION,
SECURING A LIVELIHOOD AND PARTICIPATING FULLY IN SOCIETY.

DISABLED PEOPLE LEFT BEHIND.

DISABLED PEOPLE LIVING IN POVERTY ARE OFTEN THE LAST TO BENEFIT FROM
THE VERY INITIATIVES AND PROGRAMMES DESIGNED TO REDUCE POVERTY.
WITHOUT SPECIAL ATTENTION, DISABLED PEOPLE HAVE BEEN LEFT BEHIND
AND REMAIN DISPROPORTIONATELY VULNERABLE TO THE LIFE-LIMITING
CONSEQUENCES OF CHRONIC POVERTY.

Our Action.

THE I CARE COMMUNITY PROJECT HAS BROUGHT TOGETHER BARS AND
PREVIOUS WORLD CLASS WINNERS FROM DIFFERENT LOCATIONS TO RAISE
AWARENESS AND FUNDS FOR ORGANISATIONS WHOSE PURPOSE IS TO
HELP THE PEOPLE WHO REALLY NEED OUR SUPPORT. OUR GOAL IS EQUAL
OPPORTUNITIES AND THE RIGHT TO QUALITY LIVING CONDITIONS FOR ALL
THE PEOPLE AROUND US, ESPECIALLY THOSE WHO REALLY NEED OUR SUPPORT.

Our HOPE.

PEOPLE WILL HAVE A BETTER AWARENESS OF THE DIFFERENT DISABILITIES THAT
EXIST AND WILL BE ABLE TO BETTER AND MORE EFFICIENTLY TARGET THE PEOPLE
WHO REALLY NEED OUR SPECIAL ATTENTION.
