CALL FOR JOB APPLICATIONS: Regional coordinator, Abilis Foundation (Finland)

Abilis Foundation is looking for a person with a disability that has a bright attitude to life and a sound experience in support activities for persons with disabilities to act as a regional coordinator for Abilis Foundation in the Mekong countries.

Abilis Foundation is a development fund, founded by people with disabilities in Finland in 1998. Its mandate is to support activities leading to the empowerment of disabled persons in the Global South. Abilis Foundation supports activities that contribute toward equal opportunities for persons with disabilities in society.

Abilis Foundation gives small grants ranging from 500 to 10.000 Euros to projects initiated by persons with a disability. Abilis supports organizations that are run by persons who have a disability, be it related to mobility, vision, hearing or any other type of disability. We also support organisations that are run by parents of children with disabilities. The core aim of Abilis’ work is to reach out and support people with disabilities at grassroots level.

Abilis Foundation is intensifying funding and starting a new approach in the Mekong area. The chosen countries of the region will be equipped with human, technical and financial resources to provide relevant support and opportunities to grassroots level DPOs to participate in their communities and live an active life. Abilis is starting this new approach by employing a regional coordinator in Thailand. Further plans for the Mekong region will be made with the regional coordinator.
