Inclusive Career Placement for People with Intellectual Disabilities | Michelle Chimuka | TEDxLusaka

In this talk, Michelle Chimuka inspires the audience by sharing about the work of the Sani Foundation, who created a career development and placement system to help people with intellectual disabilities gain independence and fulfillment in the workplace. Michelle Chimuka is a vibrant Zambian woman passionate about addressing the issues people with disabilities face from a business and empowerment point of view rather than from a charity perspective. Michelle has spoken about her progressive work at large platforms such as the Association for the Development of Education in Africa. Michelle is a current Laureate Global Fellow under the Youth Action Network (YAN) run by the International Youth Foundation. Although Michelle is a chartered accountant with over nine years’ experience, she manages the Sani Foundation, which works with people with intellectual disabilities. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community.
