HAO is an international NGO – our mission is to promote sustainable, quality programmes that have a direct and measurable impact – every programme we support transforms the lives of young people with disability.
HAO believes in working in partnership with local authorities in host countries.
HAO supports a rights-based approach to disability service provision and in the promotion of independence, community participation and social integration for young people with disability.
Fundamental to the work of HAO is the acceptance of the social model of disability; that disability is the social consequence of having an impairment and that it is society that needs to change to ensure the full inclusion of people with disability.
