Hands of Hope was founded in 2005, but was registered in 2009. The purpose was to create a platform for dialogue on barriers that hinder PWDs and other vulnerable members in the society, to access inclusive, meaningful, quality life and to effectively participate in public and social life. These barriers prohibit access to goods, basic services and social inclusion, necessary for enjoying dignified living in communities we live in.
Hands of Hope aims at creating a structured feedback mechanism process, while promoting measures that reduce stigma towards PWDs vulnerable and their families as well as working to improve trust, improve avenues through which their voices can be heard on a continuous and sustained basis.
