DRF Board Member --Interest

The Disability Rights Fund (DRF) is a global organization that provides grants, advocacy, and technical support to organizations run by people with disabilities in Africa, Asia, the Pacific, and the Caribbean, helping them fight for equal rights and inclusion. People with disabilities are at the heart of the decision-making at every level of the organization, reflecting their core belief that those most affected should lead the charge. DRF is the only global funder focused exclusively on disability rights, working to shift the conversation from seeing disability as a charity issue to recognizing it as a matter of human rights
