Established in 1989, the Lesotho National Federation of Organisations of the Disabled (LNFOD) is an umbrella body of organisations dealing with disability in Lesotho.
LNFOD's Vision: A Basotho society that is accessible and inclusive of all people that live in it, and that enables and empowers people with disabilities to enjoy their social, economic, political and human rights on equal basis with others, and to reach their full potential in all aspects of development.
Its mission is to advocate for, promote, and defend the rights of people with disabilities and their families through provision of training, material and emotional support, and by representing their needs to government, development partners and the wider community.
Its membership consists of the Lesotho National Association of Physically Disabled (LNAPD), Intellectual Disability Association of Lesotho (IDAL), Lesotho National League of the Visually Impaired Persons (LNLVIP) and National Association of the Deaf in Lesotho (NADL)
Walking in the Shoes of the Visually Impaired: 
Persons with disabilities (PWDs) constitute a section of the population, which is most backward, least served and grossly neglected. They are the poorest of the poor, who have been socially, educationally and economically disadvantaged; thus having customarily denied their right to self-assertion, identity and development. However, where they are given a fair chance, PWDs flourish and achieve a lot in life.
