“If you want to lift yourself up, lift up someone else.” We work mostly with disabled young people – and we learn from them. They are the ones who have to overcome the most debilitating conditions and rise up to every challenge that comes their way.
We believe in community-based rehabilitation, a sustainable strategy developed by the World Health Organisation to enhance the quality of life for people with disabilities and the deinstitutionalised.
I think once you see the need, you just get on and do the work. – Nigel Squibb, President New Life Foundation
But just so we have time to enjoy, learn and be inspired by every action that takes us closer to a more inclusive, understanding, and wholesome world.
