Vocation & Assisted Employment – Creating Pathways to Independence
While inclusion and equality are essential, true empowerment for persons with intellectual disabilities comes from equity and justice. At Maithree, we recognize that cognitive limitations may require additional support, which is why our assisted employment programme creates a nurturing space where every individual can thrive.
Our Approach to Empowerment
We provide a conducive and supportive work environment that helps individuals harness their potential. With guided decision-making, adaptive tools, and tailored tasks, we ensure every person can work with dignity and confidence.
