“500 scholarships offered to people living with a disability to promote their professional inclusion: the partnership between the Denise Nyakeru Tshisekedi Foundation and the INPP promises a bright future”
In a gesture that aims to promote the professional inclusion of people living with disabilities in the Democratic Republic of Congo, the Denise Nyakeru Tshisekedi Foundation and the National Institute for the Promotion of People with Disabilities (INPP) have announced an innovative partnership. This partnership offers 500 scholarships to people with disabilities, giving them the opportunity to train and access professional opportunities.
This initiative testifies to the growing commitment of Congolese society to guarantee equal opportunities for all, regardless of disability. Beneficiaries of these scholarships will be able to choose from a range of professional training courses offered by the INPP, which cover a wide range of fields such as IT, carpentry, sewing and many others.
By offering these scholarships, the Denise Nyakeru Tshisekedi Foundation and the INPP are tackling one of the main barriers to employment faced by people living with disabilities: the lack of professional qualifications and skills. By giving them the opportunity to acquire relevant skills, these organizations contribute to strengthening the autonomy and social integration of people living with a disability.
But the impact of this partnership goes beyond simple training. By promoting professional inclusion, it also sets a powerful precedent, inviting other companies and organizations to follow this example and create opportunities for people living with disabilities. It is essential to recognize that talent and potential are not limited by disability, and that each individual deserves a fair chance to achieve their career aspirations.
This initiative is just one example of efforts in the DRC to promote inclusion and equal opportunity. It reflects the country’s desire to build an inclusive society where all citizens, regardless of their disability, can fully participate and contribute to the country’s development.
In conclusion, this collaboration between the Denise Nyakeru Tshisekedi Foundation and the INPP is an important step towards the professional inclusion of people living with disabilities in the DRC. By offering scholarships and encouraging the acquisition of professional skills, this initiative opens up new opportunities for people living with disabilities, thus strengthening their autonomy and social integration. Hopefully other similar initiatives will follow, paving the way for a more inclusive and equal Congolese society for all
