What we work on
Our Strategic Priorities
Three connected priorities guide our work—expanding opportunity, advancing rights and informed choice, and building an inclusive, climate-resilient future.
Priority 1
Flagship Priority
AI for Livelihoods and Empowerment
Push Your Limit.
We support persons with disabilities and marginalised people to build practical AI and digital skills, gain real-world experience, and access pathways to dignified work, freelancing, entrepreneurship, and sustainable income.
Priority 2
Inclusive Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights
Own Your Choice.
We strengthen access to inclusive information and services so persons with disabilities—especially women and young people—can make informed decisions, exercise autonomy, and advocate for their rights.
Priority 3
Inclusive Climate Justice and Resilience
Protect Our Future.
We strengthen the participation and leadership of persons with disabilities and marginalised communities in disaster preparedness, climate adaptation, resilient livelihoods, and environmental decision-making.

Lived experience
Voices of Change
Participants and community leaders describe how inclusive learning, rights awareness, and leadership opportunities have strengthened their confidence, participation, and independence.
“Through AI training, I research faster and organise my notes clearly. This has boosted my confidence, academic performance, and ability to participate independently in learning activities.”
“I found my voice in the inclusive SRHR movement. I now advocate for respectful services and urge leaders to protect and uphold the rights of women with disabilities everywhere.”
“Climate justice cannot be achieved without the meaningful participation of persons with disabilities and marginalised communities. We are most affected, and we must be included.”
