UPERDFI signed an agreement with Japan Foundation Manila to manage funds which the latter will donate to implement the We Project Design Challenge. The objective of the project is to promote inclusive designs for people with disabilities in the Philippines and in Japan.

Two teams were selected to receive seed funding from JFM to continue with their inclusive design projects.
