Activities of Organisations of Persons with Disabilities
To fund impactful projects, we support grassroots organisations of persons with disabilities. Working together increases the knowledge and skills of persons with disabilities and builds faith in their own abilities.
Human Rights
At the heart of our work is respect for and promotion of human rights. We fund projects that spread awareness about the rights of persons with disabilities and aim to improve the status
of persons with disabilities

Women and Girls
We recognize the fragile status of women with disabilities in the Global South. The projects we fund promote sexual and reproductive health and rights and equal opportunities for women and girls with disabilities to participate in society.
