About Us

ADD International

The movement for disability justice is powered by the drive, vision and courage of disability activists.
Our Vision is for a world in which ableism no longer exists and disabled people can fully participate in society.

Our Mission is to strengthen disability rights activists and organisations through resourcing and leadership skills.

I want to make my rights known, so we listen to young women with disability, instead of overlooking them.

We support disability rights activists and organisations to make change in many ways. These include equality for disabled women and girls, young leaders, economic empowerment and the right to work, influencing global policy and practice on disability, and inclusive education.

A Transformation for Justice.
Our work is rooted in supporting disability rights activists in Africa and Asia to realise the changes they want to see. We are getting back to our roots by sharing more power and resource directly to them.

We are transforming to become a participatory grant maker in order to move more funding directly to disability rights activists. Crucially, we will also give disability rights activists greater decision-making power on who should receive funding and how funding should be spent. Find out more about this change.

Alongside our grantmaking, we will also launch a Global Leadership Academy for disability rights. We will encourage collective action and movement-building by promoting collaboration and learning amongst individual disability rights organisations and leaders in each region.
