Sawa World is a non-governmental organisation that uses an innovative approach to instantly transform the lives of unemployed and marginalized youth by providing the skills to start micro-businesses in one day, using locally-created and simple solutions to self-employment. Their goal is to impact 1 billion youth by 2030.

Together with Make 12.4% Work, they will explore how they can make their skills development packages inclusive for the youth with a disability. Make 12.4% Work is currently planning to place an intern with a disability at Sawa World to support the mobilisation of people with disabilities in the areas where they work. Sawa World mainly works at mobilising the youth from slum areas, and their collaboration with Make 12.4% Work will expand this by targeting disability inclusion.

Sawa World has received several awards due to the success of their work, and their impact has already seen far-reaching results. According to research, 450,820 people have been reached with local solutions since 2011. Since 2014, 6,776 businesses started with local solutions.
