AT supports transformative change in the lives of people with disabilities, enabling them to participate in and contribute to their communities on an equal basis with others, free from barriers.

In low- to middle-income countries, only 5-15% of people have the AT they need. People with disabilities in these contexts are locked out of society and into an ongoing cycle of exclusion, poverty and inequity. We’re out to change that; to unlock the everyday, for everyone.
