Our Mission
"EMPOWERING PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES TO LIVE INDEPENDENTLY IN OUR COMMUNITY."
Persons with disabilities are the best judges of the direction of their own lives. They must have the opportunity to rely on their own resources and ingenuity to acquire the rights and benefits to which they are entitled. Every person with a disability has the right to participate to the fullest extent in the economical and political life of the community.
