Disability Inclusion

Mobility and equitable access to healthcare are basic human rights

ABSF’s Disability Inclusion grants support organizations focused on high-quality, locally sourced and manufactured mobility devices, inclusive education, advocacy, and job training for people with disabilities.  In the developing world, over 100M children live with an untreated disability.  ABSF prioritizes organizations that employ people with disabilities, provide high quality preventive and adaptive care to people with disabilities and that help children and adults with disabilities to receive educational opportunities.
