Palapye district

Palapye District Council is faced with a problem of absorption of youth living with disabilities not given an opportunity to penetrate the job market after completion of study from the Special Education Unit even if they possess skills, due to stigma and discrimination associated with their disabilities.

Therefor they want to lobby for all policies to encompass the inclusion of minorities and underrepresented groups in regard to absorption in the work place, and to consider harmonization of policies that are tailor made for minorities and under-represented groups.

They also want to empower minorities and underrepresented groups (especially youth living with disabilities) by creating a platform where they can be absorbed by the work market, and enable the business community to absorb youth living with disabilities as employees.
