We Can Work
Towards 1 million young women and men with disabilities in Africa with dignified and fulfilling work.
The We Can Work program improves access to dignified and fulfilling work for young women and men with disabilities in Ethiopia, Kenya, Uganda, Rwanda, Ghana, Nigeria and Senegal
In each country, teams of Disability Inclusion Advisors and Facilitators support the development of Mastercard Foundation’s internal and partner capacity to mainstream disability in all Young Africa Works programs.
The program further deploys targeted skills-building and entrepreneurship support interventions for young women and men with disabilities to transition to work successfully. We Can Work is instrumental in realizing the ambitions of Mastercard Foundation concerning Disability Inclusion.
