We provide comprehensive support to people with disabilities
and aim to offer people the opportunity to live a dignified life
in Africa and beyond.

VISION

To enable as many people as possible in the Global South, to regain mobility and lead a dignified and self-sufficient life.

MISSION

Our mission is to provide ABILITY to people in the Global South through physical rehabilitation, the creation of infrastructure and provision to ensure that everyone can live a self-sufficient life.

Our commitment is to bring ABILITY in three vital sectors of the person and his environment:

ABILITY in
physical rehabilitation

Sierra Leone 2023 | SwissABILITY

We bring rehabilitation services, orthopedic trainings and prosthetic solutions – offering artificial legs and arms as well as assistive devices – to people who have lost mobility. Beyond restoring a person’s mobility, we also provide them with the tools and means to practise a productive lifestyle.

ABILITY in
infrastructure

Mozambique 2022 | SwissABILITY
We build and rehabilitate infrastructures in the public health and education sectors. We particularly focus on orthopedic centres, health-related facilities, and homes for vulnerable and victims of disasters, especially in the most marginal areas of the Global South.

ABILITY
IN SELF-SUFFICIENCY

Mozambique 2023 | SwissABILITY
We provide people from the most vulnerable communities with the means and tools to work and earn a living for themselves and their families. We donate working tools, farming equipment and animals, and transport equipment, and also provide professional training and coaching.
