Public benefits
As a direct result of the vocational training, financial assistance, business skills training and employment support, beneficiaries are afforded the opportunity to become financially self sufficient through either direct employment, sole trader status or as a member of a micro-enterprise business co-operative. Financial self sufficiency allows
beneficiaries to fund: • Health services for themselves and their families. • Education for themselves and their families. • Tackle the barriers that disabled people experience due to social exclusion. The provision of disability aids, particularly wheelchairs, allow disabled beneficiaries mobility to access education, health services, and vocational training and employment opportunities. Mobility affords disabled beneficiaries access to normal community life and overcomes social exclusion. The direct benefits to disabled beneficiaries, particularly disabled women, from Disability Awareness Training, Capacity Building Training and Empowerment Programmes included increasing their ability to engage with civic society in issues that affect them and helps overcome social exclusion Benefits can be demonstrated through direct and indirect feedback from disabled beneficiaries, relevant disability organisations as well as regular independent monitoring and evaluation of our projects. Regular international visits are undertaken to assess the progress and good governance of individual national programmes. These visits are undertaken by volunteer staff who have professional expertise in developing and managing disability projects in Northern Ireland. No harm arises as a result of the disability projects. There are no private benefits to unintended beneficiaries. No fees are charged for the use of the disability services or disability programmes provided by Disability Aid Abroad.
