FWD and Humanity & Inclusion to help the disabled<\/strong><\/p>\n

17 October 2018, Manila, Philippines \u2013 FWD Life Insurance, the most exciting insurance brand in the country, together with its partner Humanity & Inclusion (formerly known as Handicap International, an independent international aid organization), celebrated the beginning of the Forward Together project, helping young people with disabilities find employment opportunities in the Philippines and beyond.<\/p>\n

Through the regional partnership initially announced by the insurer in the first half of 2018, both organizations will work towards advocating equal opportunities and empowering people with disabilities in Asia. With FWD Group investing USD 1million, the Forward Together project will train at least 380 youth with disabilities in the Philippines and Indonesia and help them secure sustainable employment or business opportunities.<\/p>\n

\u201cFWD Life Philippines aims to end the stigma that disability corresponds to inability,\u201d FWD Life Philippines President and Chief Executive Officer Peter Grimes said. \u201cThrough our partnership with Humanity & Inclusion, we hope to provide a platform for people with disabilities to showcase their strengths and abilities. We want to encourage everyone to help create a future with a difference for people with disabilities with opportunities to become valuable and equal contributors to the community.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cDeveloping countries are encouraged to invest in youth, but unfortunately, young people with disabilities are usually overlooked in employment and entrepreneurship opportunities,\u201d said Bryan Andrew Marsalis, Humanity & Inclusion Regional Operation Coordinator. \u201cThat is why we are very delighted to have such strong support from FWD Group in our advocacy of improving the lives of youth with disabilities. Through this project, we will work with selected employers \u2013 including FWD Group \u2013 across the two target countries to improve their capacity to employ youth with disabilities.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\u201cAt FWD, we are committed to promoting social inclusion and active participation of persons with disabilities, and are very excited to kick-start our work with Humanity & Inclusion,\u201d said FWD Life Philippines Head of Marketing and Community Care Country Lead Roche Vandenberghe. \u201cWith the Forward Together project, we are enabling businesses and organizations such as ours to become catalysts for quality job creation.\u201d<\/p>\n

FWD Life Philippines and Humanity & Inclusion celebrated the beginning of its Forward Together project with a media event, an interactive visual language activity, and escape room challenge participated by volunteers from both organizations as well as members of the media, held on October 17, 2018, at Century City Mall in Makati City. <\/p>\n
