Enabled Lives

Persons with disabilities are at the heart of all we do. We envision persons with disabilities living in an inclusive society where they can access information, opportunities, products, services and environments like everyone – from their early years, through adolescence, and into adulthood. With the right accommodations and support, they can fulfil their highest potential and be contributing members of society. Caregivers are the first line of support for them, and we work with partners to support caregivers too.
