Through the over 10 years of activity ZAZ Nowa Sarzyna has been awarded in various contest and fair trades as a company with great impact on society and reduction of inequalities as well as for a great quality of produced goods. In the area, before ZAZ was opened, it was impossible to find any workplace for people with disabilities. Private and public insitutions still have some limitations to hired and adjusted their work environment to people with fisical problems or other ilnesses. This is due to the variety of reasons not only from the employer side but also law regulating employment as well as from the disabled perspecive who are mostly too shy and not believing in their own abilities. Therefore, people with disabilities after finishing any kind of education had very limited opportunities to check themselves in the workplace and gain professional experience.
