Enabling Village
The Enabling Village is both a community and a space. We are a collective of individuals and organisations that serve–and are supported by– people with diverse abilities.
Our Goals
A place where they can move independently
A place where they can feel accepted for who they are
A place where they feel valued for their contribution
The Concept
As the newest integrated community space in Singapore, the Enabling Village represents a fresh approach to social businesses and community building. The Enabling Village combines retail, lifestyle and training for disabled members of the community in an all-accessible public space.

A Holistic Design
The Enabling Village is a project at the intersection of architecture, lifestyle, technology and user experience design. Our programming and open spaces facilitate participation by visitors with disabilities; amenities, such as wheelchair-friendly washrooms, maximise use and freedom of movement. The Enabling Village is also a showcase of current assistive technologies and product/service design.
Social Business
We are home to several social businesses that balance commercial success with the social imperative of inclusivity. Through their diverse staff, they exemplify how persons with disabilities contribute vibrantly and vitally to society.
Empowerment Through Employment
We believe that diversity in experience and ability drives business growth. By embracing different strengths, we build a culture of empowerment, innovation, and renewal.
The Human Touch
We believe in the power of people. At Enabling Village, our team and partners come from all walks of life, each bringing unique abilities, perspectives, and stories. What unites us is a shared belief: every individual has something valuable to offer, and it’s this human connection that drives us forward.
