born with them
Abilities - we are all born with them
Some are on the surface, some just below – waiting to be discovered with a gentle nudge. then there are those who are unaware that they possess them. Those who are brimming with abilities but haven’t had the luxury of that nudge. Those who are considered ‘different’. At Mann, we are driven by the belief that we’re all the same. We don’t focus on what you are, but what you can achieve. We believe in not just identifying abilities but harnessing them so you can reach your true potential.
Join us, and let’s focus on celebrating abilities.
Employment, respect and opportunities so that young adults with disabilities can fully experience life as any young person.
Mann trains young adults with disabilities for meaningful work – partnering with businesses to help them secure jobs, become valued employees and to contribute to their families and society. We foster their physical and emotional well-being and provide opportunities in life as any young adult.
Our Story
“We were excited about our futures, but these youth and their families had no hopes for their future. Through our work we got deep insights into the lives of intellectually challenged from low income families. We recognized that these young adults were inherently capable. They were quick to learn through imitation and possessed an untapped potential. They have very pleasing personalities and a positive attitude towards life, despite the lack hope, opportunities and the helplessness of their families.
The conviction that they deserved to experience all that life has to offer – work, earn a living, friends, family, fun and more – sparked the idea of Mann.
Our early mission was wanting them to experience the world just as much as we could, but this gradually evolved into a larger goal – 10 years on, our aim is to successfully integrate them into their families, communities, workplaces
and society! “
