Sustainability

Accessibility: A community of the people, by the people, for the people
In line with Enabling Masterplan 2030, Grant Call 5 brings the community together to increase the accessibility of information, services, environments and products for persons with disabilities, such that they can connect to and be included in the wider society. Here are some examples of identified issues:
Transport
Face difficulties in independent end-to-end travel due to commuting routes that are not fully accessible.
Healthcare
Lack easy access to quality healthcare services while their caregivers face challenges in bringing them for appointments.
Sports
Lack avenues to engage in community-based sports and participate in structured sports programmes.
