DISABILITY
At the Vulnerable Aid Organization (VAO), we believe in a world where individuals with disabilities are treated with dignity, respect, and equality. Historically, the perception of persons with disabilities (PWDs) in Ghana has been shaped by harmful myths and negative cultural beliefs. Disability was often seen as a curse, witchcraft, or bad luck, leading to widespread stigma, exclusion, and discrimination. As a result, many people with disabilities have faced severe challenges in accessing basic human needs, education, healthcare, and public services.
​
Our mission is to change these perceptions and create an inclusive society where people with disabilities have equal access to opportunities and the support they need to thrive. Through advocacy, education, and community sensitization, we aim to break down the barriers that perpetuate the marginalization of persons with disabilities in Ghana.
