The
Antigua & Barbuda Association of
Persons with Disabilities (ABAPD) is a
cross-disability umbrella organization that represents the
Disabled Peoples' International
in Antigua and Barbuda. ABAPD was founded and managed by
persons with disabilities and is a duly constituted and
registered not-for-profit organization, guided by the aims and
objectives embodied in its Constitution in advocating for the
rights and equality of persons with disabilities, while
providing support and services where possible. |
|
|
Its mission is
"To provide the environment which enhances and maximizes the
opportunity for every person with a physical, psychological,
intellectual and/or sensory impairment and/or limitation in
Antigua and Barbuda to achieve his/her full potential in his/her
economic, social, religious and political life." |
|
The not-for-profit status of ABAPD
forces it to rely heavily on private donations to fulfill its
objectives. Follow this link to find out
how you can help meet its
most current urgent need! |
