Project Inclusion Network (PIN) was born from a simple but powerful belief: Persons with Disability deserve equal access to meaningful work and economic opportunity.

PIN began in 2013 under the Unilab Foundation (ULF), informed by research with De La Salle University on the employability of Persons with Autism, and strengthened by ULF’s experience in inclusive hiring. These early efforts showed that disability inclusion is not charity – it is a transformative investment for individuals, workplaces, and society.

Recognizing that employment alone is not enough, PIN expanded in 2016 to focus on economic empowerment. Through skills training, career readiness, and livelihood development, PIN enabled over 1,000 Persons with Disability to access opportunities that support dignity, independence, and long-term participation in the economy. At the same time, PIN worked with employers to break down attitudinal, structural, and systemic barriers to inclusion.

In August 2019, PIN became an independent nonprofit organization, strengthening its ability to scale impact and influence systems. Beyond programs, it took on policy advocacy, advancing disability inclusion as a shared responsibility of government, business, and civil society.

Today, PIN operates at the intersection of people, workplaces, and policy, preparing PWDs for decent work, equipping employers for inclusive practices, and advocating for stronger disability-inclusive policies – ensuring that no one is left behind in the pursuit of equitable, inclusive growth.
