Our Mission
Empowering children and adults living with disabilities across Nigeria to live independent, dignified, and fulfilling lives.
Providing life-changing support for children and adults with disabilities through advocacy, rehabilitation, assistive devices, and community-based inclusion programs.
Helping children stay in school and empowering young people and adults with education, vocational training, digital skills, and opportunities for independent living.
Improving quality of life by providing wheelchairs, white canes, hearing aids, therapy support, medical outreach, and essential assistive equipment.
Who We Are
Focus on Disability Foundation (FOD Foundation) is a non-profit organization committed to enhancing the quality of life of children and adults living with disabilities in Nigeria. We believe that disability is not inability — and that with the right support, training, and opportunities, every person can live a self-sufficient life, fully integrated into their community.
There are an estimated 22 million or more people living with disabilities in Nigeria — yet disability remains one of the most neglected dimensions of equal rights in our society. Too many are excluded from education, employment, healthcare, and public life. Too many are left to survive on the streets. We exist to change that story.
READ MORE ABOUT US →What We Do
We relieve poverty and distress among people with physical disabilities in Nigeria by providing wheelchairs, mobility aids, and equipment — restoring freedom and a return to community life.
We equip beneficiaries with essential life, social, and vocational skills — enabling them to be self-sufficient and integrated into society, rather than spend a life in an institutional setting.
Through the Focus on Disability Foundation Children's Home, we provide care, shelter, and a nurturing environment — developing physical, mental, emotional, and social skills.
