Championing Disability Inclusion in Kenya
At Adpack, we recognize the critical importance of disability inclusion in Kenya. With nearly a million Kenyans living with some form of disability, many face exclusion from education, employment, and basic human rights. We are committed to changing this narrative and creating a more inclusive society.
Our Commitment to Disability Inclusion: Since 2014, Adpack has been actively working to recruit and retain persons with disabilities. In partnership with the National Council for Persons with Disabilities, we have proudly hired over 30 individuals with hearing impairments and other disabilities. This initiative reflects our core belief in equalizing opportunities and realizing human rights for persons with disabilities (PWDs), striving towards a barrier-free society.
The Value of Diversity: Our experience has shown us the immense benefits of working with employees who have disabilities. These individuals consistently demonstrate full engagement, exceptional work ethic, and a readiness to perform to their full potential. Their contributions have enriched our workplace and enhanced our overall productivity. Adpack’s Commitment to PWDs In line with the PWDs Act of 2003, which mandates that employers reserve at least 5% of jobs for persons with disabilities, Adpack has committed to the following:
- Access: We are dedicated to removing barriers and providing equal access to employment opportunities, from recruitment to career advancement.
- Awareness: Our leadership regularly promotes disability awareness to foster a culture of empathy, respect, and inclusion among all employees.
- Advocacy: We actively encourage our partners, suppliers, and customers to embrace disability inclusion in their own workplaces.
- Action: Adpack ensures that persons with disabilities have a place to work that is harmonious, accessible, and equitable for all.
- Accountability: We hold ourselves accountable for promoting and sharing our learnings in disability inclusion.
Breaking the Cycle of Marginalization: We firmly believe that decent work is the most effective means of escaping the vicious circle of marginalization, poverty, and social exclusion that often traps persons with disabilities. Through our commitment to disability inclusion, we are taking positive action to break this cycle and create meaningful opportunities for PWDs in Kenya.
Join Us: in Creating an Inclusive Future Adpack invites other businesses and organizations to join us in our mission to create a more inclusive workforce and society. Together, we can build a Kenya where every individual, regardless of ability, has the opportunity to contribute, thrive, and realize their full potential.
