Case Study 1: Deaf Hands @Work Charles Nyakurwa established Deaf Hands @ Work in 2011 to create a platform to prioritise the younger generation of disabled entrepreneurs by providing skills training for people with disabilities (mostly deaf individuals). Deaf Hands @ Work achieves this by offering two primary services - construction services and textiles - through a lifestyle clothing brand, Deaf Style. The mainstream public sector cannot train deaf people who are less employable because they are unskilled and do not meet specific prerequisites. Deaf Hands @ Work seeks to close this gap by providing a much-needed niche service: equipping disabled people to become employable members of society. Charles has a different approach to assisting the disabled members of his community. Recognising that many companies started by, and for, people with disabilities function like Non-Governmental Organisations (NGOs) and that they rely on funding, Deaf Hands @ Work's approach recognises this risk of organisational closure. So instead, it seeks to provide opportunities (through training and skills) for disabled people to grow and become enterprising individuals themselves.
