The Special Kin Inclusion Program (SKIP) is a community-based social support organization, supported by the Aga Khan Social Welfare Board, for members of the Jamat under the age of 55 with cognitive and/or developmental disabilities and their families, friends and caregivers in the Ismaili community which focuses on inclusion, advocacy and empowerment.
Over the years, SKIP has established various opportunities for inclusion, such as dedicated spaces during special events, and IVC opportunities. The SKIP team works to raise awareness, promote social inclusion and reduce the stigma within our community. Our vision is a community where our Ismaili brothers and sisters living with disabilities, their families and caregivers are valued equally, listened to and included.
If you are, or know of any members in our Jamat whom you think could benefit from the SKIP program, or would like to volunteer with SKIP, please contact skip.bc@iicanada.net
