Description

The Action Foundation is an internationally recognized, community-driven organization working to end exclusion, discrimination, and violence towards children, women, and girls with disabilities in marginalized communities. We endeavor to reach young children and girls with disabilities that are furthest left behind, work with their caregivers to help them build better lives for themselves, grow their resilience, and cultivate lasting change.

We have a vision of a fully inclusive society where children, women, and girls with disabilities can realize their maximum potential.
