Youth with disabilities face significantly higher unemployment
rates compared to their peers due to various barriers, including
Negative
self-perception and lack of confidence, Inaccessible environments
, Limited awareness among employers, Inequities in education and
skill development ,
In areas like Garden Reach and Metiabruz, there is a lack of skill
training centers, leaving youth, especially those who have completed
10+2, without opportunities to acquire essential skills. As a
result, many lose interest in productive pursuits and are vulnerable
to being drawn into anti-social activities.

partnered with other NGOs to provide skill training and job placement
for these youth to address this
