UNAPD culture

UNAPD believes that PWPDs have the potential to develop themselves.

Contributors

How We Operate?

UNAPD operates on the following principles

Nothing for us without us: People with Physical Disabilities believe that they should be involved in all that is done about them and for them.
Unity of purpose: UNAPD members came together not just to associate but to attain, through joint action, the rights of Person with Disability in general and People with Physical Disability in particular.
Disability is not inability: The limitations of People with Physical Disabilities do not mean that they are less human beings or that they should be subjects of pity and alms. PWPDs can be useful to society if given opportunity.
Action for positive change: People with Physical Disabilities are sure that any changes in their interests can only come through concerted and united action.
The time is now: People with Physical Disabilities believe that the time for action for their full integration into the mainstream society is now.

The Uganda National Action on Physical Disability (UNAPD) is a national membership organization dedicated to advocating for the rights, dignity, and inclusion of Persons with Physical Disabilities in Uganda
