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
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

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.
