Disability Rights
Light for the World is committed to creating a world where people with disabilities can fully exercise their rights.
We address barriers to access services, opportunities, education, and employment.
“Nothing about us without us.” is the motto of the global disability rights movement.
Our approach is guided by the UNCRPD and SDGs.
We co-design programs with OPDs and offer advisory services to support organizations in disability inclusion.
