Helm Academy goes digital as it launches its first accessible E-Learning Platform that enables both PWD and employers to gain access to high quality and accessible training; thus, bridging the employment gap, making the workplace inclusive and accessible for all, and giving employers access to a pool of job-ready people of determination.
Helm promotes the full inclusion of persons with disabilities in all aspects of life by removing environmental, technological and social barriers through comprehensive inclusion services for businesses, professionals and governments.
Helm is the first provider in the region of localized and customized inclusion solutions, awarded multiple times as innovative global best practices and successful business models by Zero project, JICA, Rise Egypt, among others. Helm supports 3,500 persons with disabilities, serves more than 200 entities and has access to top notch experts from 16 countries.
Our vision is to promote the full participation of persons with disabilities in all aspects of life while creating value to our customers, our people and our investors.
Our mission is to foster societies where persons with disabilities and businesses grow together, empowering all and transcending barriers.
Working in the field of disability and inclusion since 2012, Helm's team has vast experience in this domain. Helm has numerous partnerships with more than 200 leading organizations in Egypt and the MENA region to empower persons with disabilities (PWDs) and add value to their partners through inclusion. Partnering with top trainers and accessibility consultants, we produce our own accessible training content aiming to develop the skills and talents of PWDs in a way that meets the needs of the job market.
Being a Helm Ambassador has taught me that your weakest point can be your strongest point. It has enabled me to see things differently and to work harder to achieve my dreams. Because of this, I am now able to inspire and motivate others; to encourage them to push beyond their limits.
Our partnership with Helm started 5 years ago where it was built on the common grounds of advocacy and support for the rights of persons with disabilities to an inclusive and accessible life in Egypt. I think what makes Helm's work so impactful is their focus simple; they pinpoint what persons with disabilities need in Egypt and then find the resources to fill the gap to eliminate that need. Helm always finds a way to help.
Even though Helm Foundation is a young foundation, it has achieved more than what others could not achieve in decades. Helm has supported many places to become accessible and inclusive to persons with disabilities as well as changing the mindset of the workplace culture.
