About NFDN

Recognizing the need to bring all differently-able persons and their local level organizations under one umbrella, to properly represent them to various organizations and to protect their rights and dignity by advocating at both national as well as international level have been what NFDN has been established for.

Equally as advocating for the community of people with disabilities, it strives to create an environment coalesced to support and voice common issues and needs.

People with disabilities do not want a handout. They want to help themselves. For our own good, as well as theirs, it is our responsibility to do all we can to help people with disabilities to fulfill their aspirations and take their rightful place in society.
