Driven by our conviction that there is a way to create a world of equal opportunities for people with disabilities, the Society for Child Development (SfCD) was set-up as a non-profit organization in 1992 with innovative programs and initiatives for its actualization.

These programs and initiatives address the needs of children with disabilities and their families through the growing years, and then build capacities to enter the world of work. Our work does not end here – we work with our newly trained workforce with employment and self-employment ventures using the creative arts as our primary modality.

Our vision is that every person with disability will have:

• The same access to services like education, skill development and recreation;
• The opportunity to utilize their inherent and learned capacities to their fullest potential; and thus
• Be respected for these capacities and be valued for their efforts in living as equal members of their community.

Our Mission is to create a world of equal access and equal opportunities through innovative programs that include the poor by:

• Providing quality education and skill development which will allow them to actualize their capacities;
• Creating and disseminating innovative frameworks and models of best practice which resolve unique difficulties in inclusion;
• Being a catalyst for attitudinal change in the society as a whole.
