The Lisbon story
“We corresponded with our accommodation provider in Lisbon for weeks before our trip, agreed on photos and exact dimensions, and discussed all the details. At least that's what we thought. At midnight, on arrival from the airport, we froze in awkward silence. Between us and the entrance there were 4 huge steps. It was desperate, we didn’t understand why he didn’t talk about it, and we didn’t know how we were going to find suitable accommodation in the middle of the night. The problem was not with the attitude of our landlord, he would have carried me up the stairs, but with the fact that there is no common language about accessibility that we all understand and speak. Then I decided we were going to do it.”

Who we help
Who are the people with special needs?
People with special needs may have musculoskeletal, sensory or audiovisual barriers, cognitive impairment, as a result of which they have difficulty adapting to an unknown environment. Accessibility makes everyday life easier also for those, who use a pram, are elderly, or their mobility or perception changes as a result of an accident.
