With the purpose to improve the independence and quality of life for people with disabilities in the municipality of Chair, A.P.D. "Shpresa", in cooperation with the French organization "Handicap International", many other organizations, and of course, with strong support from the municipality of Chair, encouraged the creation of the local action plan for the people with disabilities which is entirely based on the United Nations standards.
This project was realized during the year 2007, and was highlighted by it acceptance on December 7th, 2007, when this plan approved by the municipality council.
This project recognized all the problems that preoccupy the people with disabilities in the territory of the Chair municipality, and as it was predicted, the three year period of implementation started. At the beginning of 2008, a contract was signed between A.P.D. Shpresa and the French organization "Handicap International", solely for the implementation of this plan, and during this year, the working group which was predicted to be formed, in cooperation with the representatives of the municipality, did a very successful job and achieved these results:

• With our activities, we built 2 access ramps in front of 2 public institutions;


• APD Shpresa realized a course in field of IT, which lasted 3 months, starting September 10th, 2008 until December 28th, 2008;


• Access for people with disabilities was built in the main entrance of the municipality of Chair, which was built by all the building standards;


• Preparations for the foundation of the information office that will work based on the one-counter system;

It is understandable that we, as an association, the activities for the implementation of the local action plan 2008-2010, will continue during 2009 and we hope that we can achieve bigger and more concrete results.
