How did I build pride for people with Disabilities? | Thomas Ng, Founder and CEO, Genashtim Innovative Learning

Have you ever felt that luck is against you? Did you ever dream of getting the mobile phone your friend has? Have you ever thought that God hasn’t given you enough?

You should be grateful for what you have. If you have all your organs in good working condition, a country to call yours, and social acceptance, you are lucky enough!

Today, we are delighted to introduce Mr. Thomas Ng, the Founder, and CEO of Genashtim Innovative Learning, an organization that has been recognized and felicitated globally. He is a partner with RAISE SG, the Singapore center for social enterprise. He is also a part of YPO.

Thomas founded Genashtim Innovative Learning in 2008 with a simple view to putting disabled people of lesser developed economies into employment. Since the disabled people were from lesser developed economies, it was hard for team Genashtim to bring them to office. At that time they came up with the idea to give them work from home. They provided them the training online through e-learning back in 2008. Thomas says that he does not consider himself to be visionary, he came up with those ideas because of the limitations he had.

He tells us how he got motivated by the NGO which used to teach computers to the blind. He decided to give them employment and this is how the whole idea developed into founding the company.

Thomas talks about the challenges he faced and how difficult it was to manage everything without an office. They were also facing losses in the initial six years of the business but in the end, their hard work finally started to pay off and they made profits after almost a decade. We also get to know about the people who got new lives because of Genashtim's Innovative Learning.
