Kanchi works to change the social landscape for people with disabilities. With a track record of delivering creative and unique initiatives, Kanchi aims to enhance the disability standard by growing partnership with Irish business, government, media and the general public. Caroline Casey, a visually impaired social entrepreneur, established Kanchi in June 2000.
Kanchi's innovative programmes focus on the value of difference and the ability of people with disabilities. Pioneers in social entrepreneurship, Kanchi utilises key tools for social change - business and media - to drive disability up the global agenda, raise disability awareness and to encourage society to think differently about disability. Kanchi launched the highly successful O2 Ability Awards in 2004 as a vehicle for engaging business leadership around the disability business case.
