PLATFORM HANDICAP EN

(Platform Disability and Development
Cooperation)
Everybody knows the concepts of disability and development cooperation,
but, at the same time, it's an unknown matter to many people.
Our Platform
wants to change this. The Platform Disability and Development Cooperation was
founded in 1994 with the (main) aim to improve the social position of persons
with a disability everywhere in the world.
The Platform finds an interaction important between our society, which has more material and technical means at its disposal, and the societies with better ideas about inclusion.
The Platform tries to demonstrate how persons with a disability can join in the daily living of a less prosperous country, and supports initiatives that aim at that. By introducing the disabled persons and their daily activities, the Platform stresses the fact that disability is a part of our world.
The Platform itself does not set up any cooperation projects abroad, but wants to put individuals (disabled or not) and organisations in touch with disabled people in the Southern hemisphere.
PHOS supports different integration and development initiatives of
persons with a disability in the South as well as in Eastern Eurooe. It puts
Southern organisations in contact with NGOs in the North and vice versa.
As
an information link, it tries to explain to the general public and to the
persons concerned, the benefits of a worldwide cooperation.
WHOM IS PHOS AIMING AT?
