Disability Programme

FOKCDF-US will work with young people and women who are abled differently to tackle barriers that prevent them from participating and thriving fully in society.

These may be barriers that prevent them from access, participating in community activities or engaging in economic activities that improve their livelihoods and moves them away from the deepening poverty.
