Ablebook announces the “Ablebook for All” project, an initiative aimed at strengthening digital inclusion and equal access to technology for people with disabilities and other vulnerable groups through the further development of its platform and services. The project is being implemented through a strategic partnership with Cyta and forms part of the organization’s Digital Inclusion initiatives under the broader “I Am Equally Here” campaign. The initiative was selected among projects that make a meaningful contribution to reducing digital exclusion and fostering a more inclusive society in Cyprus.

The project includes the development and integration of new digital functionalities into the Ablebook platform. Specifically, it enhances access across various aspects of life for people with disabilities and other vulnerable groups, while also incorporating solutions that support citizen safety and timely information in emergency situations. In addition, the project strengthens opportunities for social participation through accessible activities and services, while also including education, training, and awareness-raising actions aimed at both businesses and society at large, contributing to the creation of a more inclusive culture.

Through “Ablebook for All”, the capabilities of the Ablebook platform will be further enhanced, offering upgraded digital services that improve users’ daily lives and strengthen their access to services, information, and opportunities for participation in society. Ablebook is already a reference point for digital inclusion in Cyprus, with more than 3,000 accessibility points and partnerships with over 250 businesses, making a meaningful contribution to creating a more accessible and inclusive environment.

The inclusion of the project within the framework of the strategic partnership with Cyta and its broader “I Am Equally Here” campaign confirms the importance of developing technology solutions with social impact, strengthening collaboration between organizations, businesses, and social enterprises. The project will be implemented over a period of nine months, contributing to the creation of more accessible and smarter communities, where technology serves as a tool for equality and opportunities for all.

This initiative represents another significant step towards a society without exclusion, where digital inclusion becomes a reality through the practical support of Cyta.

The Stoiximan Wheels of Change team is expanding its activities to Cyprus through a new strategic partnership with Ablebook and “Yparcho”, sharing a common goal of promoting equal participation in sports.

The team’s first participation in Cyprus took place during the Aphrodite Half Marathon in Polis Chrysochous on Sunday, April 19, marking the launch of the initiative’s local presence. A total of 31 participants took part, including 9 people with disabilities who participated in the 5-kilometer race.

Through this collaboration, the Stoiximan Wheels of Change program joins forces with Ablebook, an innovative accessibility and inclusion platform-app, as well as “Yparcho Education and Rehabilitation Center”, an organization focused on empowering and supporting vulnerable groups, particularly in sports. Together, they aim to significantly strengthen inclusive initiatives across Cyprus.

The Stoiximan Wheels of Change program, which has already established a successful presence in Greece with more than 5,000 participants to date, creates opportunities for people with disabilities to actively participate in sports events, highlighting in practice the importance of accessibility, teamwork, and inclusion. The initiative is also planning a strong presence in upcoming marathons in Larnaca, Limassol, and Nicosia.

Its expansion into Cyprus represents an important step toward strengthening a society without exclusions, where everyone has the opportunity to participate equally in sports and social life.

Stoiximan remains committed to creating initiatives with meaningful social impact, proving that collaboration can become a catalyst for positive change.

Because when we run together, we create a world that is more accessible for everyone.
