About US:
ADD International (Action on Disability and Development International) works for independence, equality and opportunity of disabled people living in poverty in Africa and Asia. With 30 years of experience working with Disabled People’s Organisations, we challenge the barriers and negative attitudes that limit opportunities for disabled people within their families, communities and wider society. We provide tools and resources for disabled people to live life to the full and campaign for their rights.

ADD International has been working in Uganda since 1987 and its country strategy for 2013-20 focuses on the following areas:
· HIV and disability
· Preventing and responding to violence against disabled girls and women
· The promotion of enjoyment of human rights by under-represented categories of disability
· Cross-cutting issues such as livelihoods, child protection and capacity building for disabled peoples organizations.

Right now, disability is arguably the hottest, fastest rising issue in international development and ADD is at the heart of this, cutting through to ensure that the voices of disabled people grow ever louder. This rise is taking place from an incredibly low point – there are approximately 1 billion disabled people in the world according to the World Health Organisation – and around 150 million with very high levels of need. Shockingly small numbers of disabled children go to school leading to low literacy and low employment, and, for most disabled people, even basic health services are inaccessible. Disabled people are frequently discriminated against, stigmatised, and excluded from wider society – often by their own families. Based in the UK we work out of 5 offices in developing countries in Africa and Asia with a staff team of approximately 100 people and a turnover of over £3m.
