july charity of the month

each month, rhuna donates $1 for every sale to a charity or organization of the month. we carefully select a charity that focuses on causes such as gaming, environmental conservation, underprivileged communities, minority groups, and many others.

 

for the July charity of the month, rhuna selected: AbleGamers 

 

their mission: 
"Creating opportunities that enable play in order to combat social isolation, foster inclusive communities, and improve the quality of life for people with disabilities."

 

not only are video games used as an escape for most people, they are a way to connect with other people and develop friendships.

 

according to AbleGamer's website, "People with disabilities are 51% more likely to be socially isolated than their non-disabled peers." Ablegamers ensures that those with disabilities get the same opportunities to develop those relationships, along with getting to experience an overall positive gaming experience. 

 

AbleGamers has five pillars:

1. Peer Counseling: "Providing 1-on-1 guidance to assess player needs in order to enable play"

 

 2. Engineering Research: "Creating assistive technologies that provide solutions to barriers to play"

 3. Community and Inclusion: "Fostering opportunities for camaraderie to forge lifelong relationships."

4. User Research: "Discovering barriers and solutions to facilitate accessible player experiences"

5. Professional Development: "Guiding Industry philosophies to promote an inclusive and accessible future."

 

 

everyone deserves the opportunity to play video games. they deserve the same opportunity to develop friendships and participate in a community environment. through AbleGamer's work, individuals with disabilities are given this opportunity.
