Background
Adamawa People with Disabilities and Vulnerable Support Initiative (ADPWDVSI), also known as ADPWDVSI, is grassroots, community-based, non-governmental, and non-profit organization established to promote the rights, inclusion, and well-being of persons with disabilities and other vulnerable groups in Adamawa State, Nigeria.
The organization was born out of a compelling need to address the widespread marginalization, discrimination, and social exclusion faced by persons with disabilities (PWDs), particularly in post-conflict and underserved communities affected by poverty, insurgency, and limited access to essential services.
ADPWDVSI's programs cut across sectors including inclusive education, protection (including GBV prevention and response), health, economic empowerment, psychosocial support, and access to justice. The organization ensures disability and gender sensitivity in all its interventions and has successfully partnered with government agencies, INGOs, local CBOs, and donor institutions to implement impactful projects that improve the lives of PWDs and vulnerable populations.
