Our Programs & SERVICES
WHY DRF
We offer services and resources that are relevant to the current needs of individuals with developmental and other disabilities. There is a huge gap between the prevalence of developmental disabilities among children and the resources and infrastructure available to cope with their special needs. Developing countries struggle to balance the impetus of economic growth and the obligations of social protection programs. It is precisely here that the role of Disability Resources Foundation becomes pivotal in channeling much-needed financial and infrastructural resources to these poor disabled children in Africa.
Empowerment Programs
We provide skills training, and personal and professional development programs to empower parents, caregivers, and educators with the skills needed to be active participants in their's or their child's programs and services. We connect persons with disabilities through various activities and trainings.
Wheelchairs and Mobility
Mobility is a big part of our mission. We believe that every disabled person should have access to quality assistive technologies and equipment to improve their mobility and offer a sense of independence. We take equipment donations such as wheelchairs, standing aids, walkers, and positioning aids and donate to families in need.
Community Connections
We are committed to raising awareness and changing the lives of children with developmental disabilities, and individuals with other disabilities.
We host a support group for parents, siblings, caregivers, friends and families of individuals with developmental disabilities. It's a platform to share experiences, challenges, advice and more, to educate and promote awareness within and outside affected communities. This support group is hosted on our facebook support group page.
Partner with us in promoting accessible and inclusive communities.
Food and Nutrition
Food and nutrition is an important part of what we do. We support families of children with Cerebral Palsy and other developmental disabilities in underprivileged communities of Zambia. Help us connect with donors and with people in need.
