HOW CAN OUR ORGANIZATION BE SUPPORTED BY YOUR ORGANIZATION IN GETING A CAR FOR CHILDREN WITH DISABILITIES. OUR NGO IS KNOWN AS HELP THE POOR ORGANIZATION WORKING IN SONGEA TANZANIA EAST AFRICA.
First of all I want to thank ABLISS Foundation for preparing such funds for people with disabilities and other vulnerable people and i want add that Rehabilitee Organization for Afghan War Victims (ROAWV) is an Afghan non governmental and non profit organization (NGO) lead by persons with disabilities to rehabilitate war victims including (Children, Women and Men) with disabilities.
(ROAWV) was established in September 2009 to provide supports and services for persons with disabilities and to seek ways to prevent more disability in Afghanistan.
ROAWV’s vision is to upgrade the capacity of persons with disability and find ways for their equal inclusion in the afghan society through self help activities and employments opportunities.
ROAWV’s mission is to improve the quality of life of persons with disabilities including those affected by war and others consequences.
ROAWV’s goal and objectives:
Are to establish a tranquillizing environment for war victims to education, health, skills development trainings, and employment and access to public buildings in Afghanistan. ROAWV identifies the needs of children and youngsters with disability and plans to implement strategies to meet their needs.
ROAWV provides information and education to children with disability and their families, employers, the medical community and general public in order to further understanding the long term challenges of living in an environment such as Afghanistan.
This form of advocacy is designed to increase the community’s responsiveness to helping develop and inclusive rights based in society.
ROAWV assists persons with disability in securing accurate\ timely information, diagnosis, treatment and rehabilitation services so that they may take or maintain their place in society as productive citizen.
ROAWV has the main office in Kabul city, ROAWV is officially registered with the Ministry of Economy of Islamic Republic of Afghanistan and reports to the ministry of Labor Social Affairs and Martyrs and Disabled. (MoLSAM&D) and Ministry of Education (MoE).
Organization Action:
ROAWV works with Schools, Communities and the government to advocate for social inclusion of children and people with disabilities. ROAWV creates accessible environment by constructing ramps on Schools, public buildings and health care centers. This activity creates equal access for all, bridges the gap between children and youth with or with out disabilities and the development of more inclusive society.
In Afghanistan, access to education for all children is limited at best and even worse for children and youth with disabilities. Based on ROAWV’s field research and surveys, youngsters and children with disabilities do not have equal access to education, health and employment.
ROAWV supports Schools students for wheelchairs users, the visually and hearing impaired, and other physical and learning disabilities through its School Accessibility project. The School administration\s ability to facilitate the rights of these children is often limited or non –exist. Children with disabilities seeking entrance into schools are often rejected on the basis that the schools are not physically accessible and the staff and administration are not equipped to address their needs.
ROAWV has responsibility to ensure more rights for persons with disabilities especially the children of the new generation living with disability.
ROAWV Mandates:
• Create and foster employment opportunities for people with disabilities by providing skills development, vocational training and formal educational opportunities and by lobbying afghan employer’s o provide jobs for persons with disabilities.
• Raising awareness on the rights of persons with disabilities among public educators, the general public and civil society.
• Empower people with disabilities through appropriate legislation.
• Ensure easy and convenient access to all public buildings and places
