Social economy

Since 2001 Motivation has been developing social businesses in Romania. Our initiatives aim to provide models of inclusive employment of persons with disabilities and to generate income that support disability services. Some of the services we provide are dedicate to persons with disabilities, while others are mainstream services or products.

Since 2007, the social enterprise is authorized by the Romanian Automotive Register to install driving adaptations for persons with mobility disabilities. Since 2016  Motivation LLC also provides certified training courses for specialists in the disability field. The revenues generated by Motivation LLC support the programs developed by Motivation Romania Foundation.
