About us
EnableMe builds on the successes of the foundation MyHandicap, which operates information portals in Switzerland and Germany with more than ten million site visits yearly and more than 120’000 thread answers in the community.
The EnableMe foundation has been founded in spring 2020 to multiplicate the impact globally.
Foundation Board
The Foundation Board is the highest decision-making body of the Foundation.
Joachim Schoss
"In 2002 I had an accident that profoundly changed my life. After losing my right arm and leg, I started fighting for the improvement of the lives of people with disabilities, for whom I noticed a profound lack of information. Ever since I invested my resources to enable people with disabilities to inform and help themselves. Thus, I founded the foundation MyHandicap which became the largest information portal for people with disabilities in the German-speaking world.
EnableMe has now the aim to expand our global impact based on more than 15 years of track record in helping people with disabilities."
Frank Bodin
"A society in which only healthy people count for anything is sick. Reason enough to commit myself with brain and heart to EnableMe."
Patrick Eberle
"Despite my congenital, severe visual impairment, I have been able to achieve a lot in my life. Where there's a will, there's a way, and with the right support from EnableMe, it gets a little easier."
