Project Description
Paraguayans with disabilities are often the most excluded members of society and do not have equal access to economic and civic opportunities. Fundación Saraki (Saraki) partners with organizations to develop leadership and promotional skills to uphold laws that further the rights of people with disabilities, like equal opportunity in employment. At the IAF, we support community-led solutions to strengthen governance in Paraguay. Saraki’s activities strengthen excluded communities so they can participate equally in political, economic and social life.
