Meet Lurline Halliman, our dedicated QA/Content Jr Executive and EMT Operations Assistant at Genashtim. Lurline hails from Kingston, Jamaica, and has been an essential part of our diverse remote workforce since 2019, demonstrating three years of dedication, resilience, and unwavering spirit.

Lurline lives with a complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS), a form of chronic pain that developed after the injury of two of her fingers in an unfortunate accident at her previous workplace. CRPS often affects a person’s limbs; in Lurline’s case, it has impacted both her hands with severe, long-lasting pain, making everyday tasks like using a computer keyboard and handling paper incredibly painful.

Since the injury in 2009, Lurline’s life has taken an unexpected turn. She had to leave her corporate career as an administrative professional, significantly affecting her livelihood. Fortunately, she discovered Genashtim in 2018 while browsing online job sites. As an organization passionate about uplifting the disadvantaged by offering sustainable and gainful global employment opportunities, we welcomed Lurline into our team with open arms. Thanks to our remote work model, she now works from the comfort of her home. The flexibility of remote work has enabled her to manage the pain in her hands effectively—something she couldn't achieve in a traditional workplace setting.

Support our Mission:

Lurline's story is just one of the many inspiring journeys at Genashtim. With your support, we can continue to make a meaningful impact on the lives of individuals like her. Visit https://genashtim.com/ to learn more about our services and how you can contribute to our mission of empowering lives!

Meet Judith Acosta, our exceptional Internal QA Analyst from Genashtim’s Learning Digitalization department!

Hailing from Quezon City, Philippines, Judith graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Nursing from De Los Santos College. Before joining Genashtim, Judith was a training nurse in several local hospitals.

Unfortunately, in February 1996, a tragic vehicular accident left her with a spinal cord injury, causing her to be paralyzed from the waist down. Adapting to life as a paraplegic was daunting for Judith at first. Besides learning to navigate the world in a wheelchair, she had to rely on leg braces and other assistive devices to help with her daily activities. Fortunately, her family and friends were there to support her while she adjusted to her new reality.

Judith's journey with Genashtim began in 2017 when she visited the Persons with Disability Affairs Office (PDAO) at the Quezon City Hall, seeking home-based job opportunities. There, a former Genashtim employee provided her with a link to the company's website. After reaching out via email, she was hired by Genashtim in March 2018.

Today, she thrives in her role and enjoys a comfortable life with her elderly mother and a dedicated caregiver. She’s proud to live a productive, fulfilling life despite her disability. Judith’s life journey serves as a powerful reminder to us to keep pushing forward despite the obstacles we face and to never lose hope.

Join us in celebrating Judith’s inspiring journey and her invaluable contributions to our team!

No one is perfect. Not every able-bodied person is capable, and not every disabled individual is incapable. We all have our own set of strengths and weaknesses. At Genashtim, we focus on abilities or strengths rather than disabilities or limitations. This is our core principle.

Genashtim began with a visionary – Thomas Ng. Where others saw disability, he saw untapped potential. While serving on the board of directors of a computer school for the blind in Manila, Thomas was inspired by the exceptional computer skills of its visually impaired graduates. Seeing their immense potential, he dedicated himself to securing sustainable, dignified employment for them. Through his relentless persistence and unwavering determination, Genashtim was born.

Today, we celebrate diversity and inclusion in the workforce by hiring persons with disabilities (PWDs) and other disadvantaged individuals because we believe everyone can make a valuable contribution. Join us in redefining what’s possible and creating a more inclusive world!
