Corporate Partnerships

Motivation's corporate partners play a vital role in helping us to work towards our vision of a world free of today's obstacles to disabled people's full enjoyment of their abilities, rights and ambitions.

How we work

Motivation works by invitation only. All our work is implemented in collaboration with locally based partner organisations. Primarily we work with local disability organisations who understand the needs of their own communities. However, partners can be disabled people's organisations, non-government organisations, international organisations, government institutions, or private sector organisations.

Motivation receives far more requests for support than our size allows us to be involved in. We therefore look to develop realistic partnerships that address the needs and rights of disabled people in a long-term sustainable way. All programme activities require external funding, the availability of which is often the key determining factor in programme implementation.
