ABOUT US

About LNFOD

Established in 1989, the Lesotho National Federation of Organisations of the Disabled (LNFOD) is an umbrella body of organisations dealing with disability in Lesotho.

Its membership consists of six Organisations of Persons with Disabilities (ODPs), Albino Aid Multipurpose Association (AMA), Deafblind Association of Lesotho (DBAL), Intellectual Disability and Autism Lesotho (IDAL) formerly known as Lesotho society of mentally handicapped persons (LSMHP), Lesotho National Association of the Physically Disabled (LNAPD), Lesotho National League of the Visually Impaired Persons (LNLVIP), and National Association of the Deaf Lesotho (NADL). 

Our Vision

An Inclusive Society.

Mission Statement

Its mission is to champion the rights of persons with disabilities and their families through advocacy, support, and partnerships, ensuring they lead empowered and fulfilling lives. ​

 

We Believe

We believe in a human rights based approach to disability and social inclusion. We are of the view that the position of disabled people and the discrimination against us are socially created. This has little to do with our impairments. Disability does not make a person with a disability or their family any less of a human being than any other member of society. People with disabilities can dream and achieve their own goals, and live their best life possible.

 Through fear, ignorance and prejudice, barriers and discriminatory practices have developed which disable us. By understanding and working towards deconstructing these attitudinal barriers, we are able to break down the process of disablement. Through this process we can assist people with disabilities and their families to be empowered to access their human rights.
