Our Mission

To cultivate opportunities, freedom of choice and accessibility for people with disabilities, amplifying their voices through community, leadership and connection. Our mission is to assist adults and youth with mental health, behavioral and psychological challenges in achieving social integration and being able to access the resources being provided to them. We are dedicated to enriching the lives of disabled African people by providing educational, professional, social, and material resources. Those disabled individuals who are no longer capable of performing their adult responsibilities such as caring for their families, meeting their personal financial obligations and controlling their behavior are being ousted from social society. We envision a community where people with disabilities are more broadly valued, hired by employers, receiving support, and participating in ordinary activities. Our staff is well educated and trained on understanding the struggles and needs of our community. And strives to make you and your families life a priority on receiving all the resources, help and services you need.
