Digipreneurship for the Disabled (DP4D) Project

Throughout the history disabled individuals have generally been exposed to negative emotions such as pity, sadness, and fear. They have been seen as a burden to society. People with disabilities have generally been exposed to social exclusion. As a result they have been left behind and have been unable to discover their talents. However, It should be our priority to integrate people with disabilities into the society and to ensure that they can continue their lives independently. For us, the most influential way to do this is to increase their entrepreneurial skills and make them productive individuals with the help of digital tools. It is of great importance for the disabled to produce in terms of their adaptation to social life. A disabled person who stands on his own feet not only earns financial income, but also increases his moral self-confidence and strengthens his commitment to society. We can list the advantages of digital entrepreneurship for the disabled as follows,

-Entrepreneurship provides flexible working opportunities for the disabled

-Digital entrepreneurship eliminates the disadvantages of people with disabilities

-The disabled work at home and in virtual environment thanks to entrepreneurship

-Entrepreneurship becomes an alternative to disability discrimination

-Thanks to entrepreneurship, the knowledge, skills and motivation of the disabled increase
