Approximately a billion people live a disability in the world. These range from intellectual disabilities to physical limitations that require the use wheelchairs and other devices to live on a day-to-day basis. Globally, persons with disabilities comprise the largest minority group in the world.
Barriers such as inaccessible buildings, programs that are not inclusive, and lack of disability awareness make it difficult for persons with disabilities to be engaged, productive members of their communities. Global Abilities Foundation (GAF) addresses these barriers by: - Helping communities improve accessibility of buildings and open spaces - Partnering with organizations to develop inclusive employment, education, recreation, and other programs - Helping healthcare providers, businesses, educators, and other organizations better understand and assist their employees and clients with disabilities |
