Ability Foundation

Ability Foundation

A national non-profit organization headquartered in Chennai, committed to the empowerment, equal opportunities and inclusion of all persons with disabilities. Since its inception in 1995, the Foundation has worked to break down barriers, challenge the perceptions and the stereotypes associated with people with disabilities and pave the way for an equal society for all.

We are the dreamers of a better world. A world without barriers. A world where being disabled does not automatically equate with being disadvantaged… where words like “empathy” and “empowerment” forever replace “pity” and “neglect”… where access in every sense and equitable opportunities are the norm. A world where every person is judged only on individual merit, strength and character. A world where every disability – be it physical, intellectual or psychological, is accepted as a diversity to be respected and accommodated.
