Eliminate lonely deaths of people with disabilities
In order to increase the wages of people with disabilities working at Type B business establishments that support continued employment, we have launched a general incorporated association called SDGs by People with Disabilities in collaboration with a local company president.
Our mission statement is to "eliminate lonely deaths of people with disabilities" and we have established the following as our activity policy.
1. Raise the average wages of people with disabilities
2. Provide people with disabilities with memories that will last a lifetime
Jinkeido is in charge of planning and management. We are carrying out various initiatives based in a former special needs school in Shiranoe, Moji Ward, Kitakyushu City, which has been closed down.
[What prompted us]
It was difficult to find a contractor.
We had outsourced the packaging tasks for our overseas export business to a Type B business facility that continuously supports people with disabilities, but we had a hard time finding a contractor as each facility specializes in different types of work and the scale of the business did not match, so we changed contractors several times. From that experience, we wanted to create a system that would make it easier for business matching between local companies looking for employees to outsource tasks and those facilities trying to getting tasks. We also wanted to raise the average wages for people with disabilities, so we co-founded the general incorporated association named “SDGs for Disabilities” in collaboration with local businesses.
