MAROUF ADEYEMI e.V.
The barrier is usually the building, not the person.
Inclusion fails in ordinary places: a workplace that will not adjust a task, a school that has no plan, a form nobody can fill in, a family left to manage alone.
Work on the surroundings first.
We start with what can be changed around a person — the task, the entrance, the timetable, the paperwork — before asking anything of the person themselves. Families are part of that work, including parents with disabilities, who are routinely overlooked.
Six lines of work.
Direct support
- Supported employment and workplace adjustment
- Family empowerment and respite
- Support for parents with disabilities
Structural work
- Accessibility aids and equipment
- Legal protection and advocacy
- Inclusive education and awareness work
The rules we work by.
Nothing about them without them
People decide what support they want. We do not design a programme for a group and then look for participants to fit it.
Employment, not occupation
The goal is ordinary paid work on ordinary terms, with the task adjusted where that is what it takes.
Fund it, join it, or open a door for it.
Write the programme name in the reference line of a transfer and the money is used for this programme only. If you can offer time, goods or an introduction instead, that is often worth more.
