About Project

IncluCity by NakSeni is an inclusive crowdsourced map for accessible and safe venues & spaces. With over 10 years of experience in the arts and events industry, social entrepreneurship, and advocacy for children and Persons with Disabilities (PWD). The founding team consists of Armani, Nurul and Miza who are passionate in advocating for accessibility and inclusivity in Malaysia. Through their past experiences of hosting workshops and events via NakSeni for the diverse PWD community, they realised the current limited information on accessibility available, which then led to the creation of IncluCity. By raising awareness amongst the public, increasing accessibility not only benefits the PWD community but also senior citizens, families with small children, and those who may have temporary or situational disabilities as well.

The Problem

1. Insufficient and inaccurate information on venue accessibility
The target community finds it difficult to find verified information on accessibility which then discourages them from visiting most venues in downtown Kuala Lumpur.

2. Lack of exposure and awareness for business owners to include the target communities
Many businesses don't know how to accommodate people with disabilities and might not realise the importance of making their venues accessible. As a result, places can be hard to get into for some people, and they might not have suitable facilities. Because of this, it's tough for businesses to cater to these communities and offer them jobs.
