THE HARAMBEE ENTERPRISE SCHEME

July 7, 2017
in BCD News, Featured News

An initiative of Barbados Council for the Disabled 2017

Persons with disabilities have dreams like everyone else.  They dream of pursuing a career in a variety of fields or, of achieving skills in a range of areas.  Sadly, there are not always enough avenues opened to help them realise their potential.  Individuals are often limited by society’s perception of what is “Meritorious” and as a result, doors open to others are frequently closed to persons with disabilities.

In recognition of these challenges, the Barbados Council for the Disabled has conceptualized the “Harambee Enterprise Scheme”.

The Barbados Council for the Disabled was pleased to award three diverse initiatives at its Annual General Meeting, held on Saturday, June 24th 2017.
