Include ME 4.0

THE PROBLEM

Based on a recent study by UNICEF, Malaysian culture frequently hides and excludes children with disabilities from society. The study highlighted that 43% of Malaysians felt that "children with disabilities would be disruptive in a mainstream class" and "1 in 3 believe children with disabilities should be hidden". This implies that the kids are typically not highly engaged in extracurricular activities, education, and work opportunities outside of their homes. With this, the youths of today may struggle to have a deeper understanding of special needs, and thus they are unable to promote inclusion.

Their circumstances are considerably more challenging given the current political and economic climate. Therefore, they frequently need assistance from non-government-funded centres to help their kids develop their motor, sensory, and cognitive skills to better prepare them for life in mainstream society — for example, IMC Training Centre for Special Needs.

What is IMC?

IMC is a passionate training centre devoted to developing children and individuals with Special Needs. Through personalised learning with dedicated staff and volunteers, IMC aims to not only prepare the Special Children to develop the skills that will aid them in society but also instil good moral attitudes in them alongside a replenished sense of self-worth. 

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, IMC is facing various challenges, such as the lack of voluntary manpower and donations, which affects their operation and makes them unable to support the Special Children and orphans that are completely under their guardianship.

THE SOLUTION

Heroes like YOU

The goal of our campaign, Include Me 4.0 is to:

• Raise awareness regarding the challenges faced by children with disabilities and the Special Needs community in Malaysia

• Empower society to advocate for Special Needs Children in order to foster a more inclusive Malaysia

• Raise funds for IMC Training Centre and AIESEC’s Get Fit, Get Inclusive volunteering initiatives through donations and merchandise sales

THE IMPACT

Our campaign’s ultimate goal is to change the mindset of the public, to make the society see the Special Children as well as to awaken the diversity and tolerance in society

In the end, the impact would be:

• Higher awareness among the public by spotlighting the stigma and discrimination experienced by Special Children

• Raise funds to support IMC in potentially constructing a new centre to support more Special Needs Children and to also support their daily operations

• Raise funds to execute AIESEC’s Get Fit, Get Inclusive initiative (GFGI), a  community project aligning with SDG Goal #10: Reduced Inequalities which aims to assist Special Children in Malaysia by conducting activities that supports the development of Special Children's mental and social skills
