The Organisers

Ability Foundation – a National NGO involved in the integration, empowerment and mainstreaming of persons with disabilities. An organisation that works with the firm conviction that disabled people are an integral part of society and as such, everyone in society has a very significant part to play in making true inclusion possible. Towards this mission, the Foundation works with single minded dedication to bridge the divide between disabled and non-disabled persons and is involved in a wide-range of activities, almost all of which are pioneering in nature, that spotlight on dispelling stereotypes and focus on the potential of disabled persons and pave the way for an equitable society where individual diversities are respected and with equal opportunities for all are the norm.
