The Shed Project Kāpiti

The Shed Project Kāpiti is an organisation based in Paraparaumu, on the Kāpiti Coast. They've been involved in providing training and employment opportunities for local disabled and disadvantaged people since their founding in 2014.

The Shed Project aims to improve the lives of the differently abled and the communities where they live. This is done by:

ENABLING

differently abled people to achieve their personal goals, live independently, and enjoy happy, healthy and meaningful lives.

OPPORTUNITY

can be hard to find for the differently abled. They provide help in getting around barriers to opportunity, employment, and advocacy.

INCLUSION

in the community is a vital part of life, but the differently abled can find it hard to achieve. The Shed Project aims to change this, generally by participation in social and fundraising events, setting up and administering community enterprises to create employment, and other activities fostering community well-being.

By enabling the differently abled to gain opportunity and inclusion, The Shed Project changes attitudes and beliefs towards the differently abled.

To put all this in a nutshell, The Shed Project endeavours to show people that They Can - something that often is lacking in their lives.
