MEET HANDEF

ABOUT US

Handicapped Education Foundation (HANDEF) is a non-governmental organization founded in December, 2003 and dedicated to facilitate the education and advancement of the rights and welfare of people with disabilities in our society. It also seeks to sensitize or bring awareness and action to the plight of the challenged members of the society, especially those who are still in school while providing skill acquisition and economic empowerment for the young adults.We are currently working in Ondo State of Nigeria but will in future extend our operations to other parts of the country and even beyond as funds permit.

OUR VISION

To make the life of the challenged not only an envy but an inspiration to the able bodied in our society.

OUR MISSION:

To discourage children and young adults with disabilities from becoming a liability to society by providing them with necessary support. To encourage parents who are still ashamed of such children to bring them out of hiding in order to facilitate their access to education and advancement in life.

OUR GOAL

To evolve a well established, well funded and sustainable intervention programme to enable people with disabilities especially children, develop fully their God given potentials and become employable, self-reliant and ultimately employers of labor.
