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
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.
