Fundación Prevent

Employment inclusion for people with disabilities

Fundación Prevent is a nonprofit that has worked to improve employment inclusion for people with disabilities since 2005. Its programs serve people with disabilities who are looking for work or considering entrepreneurship, businesses that hire or need to meet legal requirements, and the broader public through awareness initiatives.
