Giving back through life-changing experiences.
who we are
The Disability Resources Foundation (DRF) is a Zambian nonprofit dedicated to improving the quality of life for children with developmental disabilities and their families. Through mobility support, caregiver education, nutrition programs, and community engagement, we transform disability policy into practical, sustainable solutions for families.
Our model is built on inclusion, dignity, evidence-based practice, and community empowerment.
We align our support services with the goals set forth by Zambia Agency for Persons with Disability (ZAPD), the sustainable growth goals (SGRs) being pursued by the Government of Zambia and various other international conventions and treaties.
Our History
Many families of children with developmental disabilities lack the support and resources needed to live independently. Disability Resources Foundation (DRF) seeks to
to bridge the gap between disability policy and everyday practice by delivering accessible, family-centered services that improve mobility, nutrition, caregiving skills, and promote inclusive communities.
Developmental Disabilities including Cerebral Palsy, Autism Spectrum Disorder, Hearing loss, Intellectual disability, Tourette Syndrome and muscular dystrophy among others have affected millions of children across Africa. There is a huge gap between the prevalence of these conditions among young children and the resources and infrastructure available to cope with their special needs.
Our Mission
Our mission is to empower children with developmental disabilities and their families by providing practical support, mobility solutions, caregiver training, and community-based resources and skills that strengthen independence, dignity, and inclusion.
