YOU CAN
MAKE A
DIFFERENCE
Our global vision is to raise awareness and acceptance of people with disabilities, improve the quality of their lives, impact change in their communities, and encourage social integration.
Disability Acceptance
Disability Acceptance
Almost every person in every society around the world has been touched in some way by a person living with disability. Fathers, mothers, brothers, sisters, extended families, and friends – all have been impacted by the life of someone with a developmental or intellectual disability.
650 million people in the world live with a disability
Empowering people with different abilities is our passion. People with disabilities have hopes and dreams just like you and me; but their futures are often molded by the attitudes and perceptions we have about them. If we don’t change our way of thinking, then nothing will change.

In spite of international laws and policies, many people with disabilities still find themselves pushed to the margins of our societies. And almost all encounter prejudice, bullying, and discrimination. These attitudes and actions cause their world to become smaller. Their opportunities become more limited, and, ultimately, they withdraw from the wider community.
