Vision & Values

Our Vision

A world in which all young disabled people are able to achieve their full potential.

Our Mission

To promote and facilitate the participation of young disabled people in all aspects of development in Africa.

Our Values

We take a rights based approach
Our commitment to the rights of disabled children and young people will send a clear message that their rights cannot be denied any longer.

We believe in the full participation of children and their families
We will work with partners who are committed to fully listening to and involving children and families. We will also encourage our partners to ensure their staff and volunteers are representative of the communities which they serve.

We aim to build positive and strong partnerships
We will allow partners the opportunity to tell us what they think and need, and we will work with them to develop interventions and agreements which reflect the needs of the partner organisations and those with whom they work.

Equality, honesty and respect are key to our work
We will seek to ensure the full participation of groups who have faced discrimination because of their disability, gender or their national, local or self-defined identity. We will promote these values throughout our work.

We believe in a local response to a local problem
We are committed to the growth of strong local organisations and will strive to ensure that they are sustainable. We will support partner organisations to identify their own objectives and help them to find the resources to achieve them.
