For Persons with Disability
Fully aware of the constant need to keep up with the digital age, Me Alla Matia NPO provides remote computer and smartphone courses to visually impaired people. At the same time, utilizing our extensive network of collaborating entities, we accept requests via a Helpdesk and refer accordingly if we cannot personally serve the request. Contact us at info@meallamatia.services or via our contact form.
Our organization is active in the cultural sector and actively tries to raise awareness, among other things, of the obstacles faced by artists/ideas with disabilities in the labor market. Thus, we established a Register of Artists with Disability, in which you can freely register to highlight your work and participate in the accessible cultural events that we coordinate.

This gives us great joy! The #SpeakUp disability awareness campaign is all about its faces, and people from across the disability community spectrum must be represented.

In any case, we encourage you to contact us to discuss possible ways for you to participate in the campaign.
For Friends and Supporters
Donating to support our multiple charities is always a good option, but not the only one. Interacting with our content, reaching out to our team for inclusion programs, and sharing what we’re doing with your audience are just a few other options to show your support in action. Get more ideas here.
