Equal Partners Foundation is a parent-run, non-profit foundation, set up in 1999, supporting children and adults with intellectual or developmental disabilities and learning difficulties.
Our mission statement is: "to be partners with individuals with disabilities, their families and the community, and to promote and facilitate informed personal choices and meaningful lives."
This support also extends to the families of persons with difficulties to provide ongoing support and increase the understanding of challenges faced by these families as well as increase their quality of life.
In line with the social model of disability, all our interventions are personalised and delivered within the community. Emphasis is made on providing support in one's natural environment; thus our support services are delivered within homes, schools, places of work and recreation, and within the community at large.
Equal Partners seeks to support persons with disabilities in order to achieve a more independent and meaningful life within an inclusive society.
