Abstract

The present research work Design of Agricultural Microenterprise with a fair trade focus in order to improve life quality in people with disabilities at “Centro Educativo Comunitario Intercultural Bilingue Especial Louis Braille” in Colta Canton has the objective to provide administrative strategies to the institution. The used methodology is based on the application of surveys to all the members of the institution, as well as the elaboration of the SWOT matrix which allowed to know the present situation of the Education Center. It was determined that it is necessary to have the technical tools to contribute to the improvement of the quality of life of people with disabilities and their families. The proposal is based on the creation of an organic garden accompanied by a training program; thus, the implementation of this alternative will allow to apply occupational therapy, the social inclusion of people who attend to this place and to have an income source for the families by means of starting a business. It is recommended for the Education Center to extend the conventions with private and public institutions as Escuela Superior Politécnica de Chimborazo that seek to increase their development possibilities as well as to best contribute to students with disabilities.
