Founded in 2003 by Salvador Mendes de Almeida, Associação Salvador has made significant strides in improving the lives of countless individuals through its innovative projects and initiatives. Their mission is clear: to promote the inclusion of people with motor disabilities, defend their rights, and help create a more inclusive society. Their vision is a world where differences are celebrated, and everyone has the opportunity to thrive.
The rights of people with motor disabilities
Associação Salvador is dedicated to promoting the inclusion of people with motor disabilities, advocating for their rights, and working together to build a fairer society that acknowledges diversity. Their mission is to create a more inclusive world where individuals of all abilities have equal opportunities. Their vision is a society in which differences do not define one’s potential, allowing every person, regardless of their motor disability, to fully participate in life.
At Coompass, we are proud to support Associação Salvador by providing valuable volunteering opportunities that enable our employees to engage with their important work. Through these initiatives, we aim to further their mission and raise awareness about the rights and potential of individuals with disabilities.
