Inclusive Career Placement for People with Intellectual Disabilities | Michelle Chimuka | TEDxLusaka

In this talk, Michelle Chimuka inspires the audience by sharing about the work of the Sani Foundation, who created a career development and placement system to help people with intellectual disabilities gain independence and fulfillment in the workplace. Michelle Chimuka is a vibrant Zambian woman passionate about addressing the issues people with disabilities face from a business and empowerment point of view rather than from a charity perspective. Michelle has spoken about her progressive work at large platforms such as the Association for the Development of Education in Africa. Michelle is a current Laureate Global Fellow under the Youth Action Network (YAN) run by the International Youth Foundation. Although Michelle is a chartered accountant with over nine years’ experience, she manages the Sani Foundation, which works with people with intellectual disabilities. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx

This was few years back, yet very refreshing and still super relevant. So many African countries today still need to work on policies that are inclusive and holistic. Great talk indeed.
