SAFOD is a leading disability-focused network engaged in coordination of activities of organizations of Persons with Disabilities in 16 countries of the Southern Africa Development Community (SADC) region. In each of these countries, our focus is mainly to strengthen the capacity of our national affiliates so that they are able to effectively advocate for the rights of the persons with disabilities in line with the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (UNCRPD). We pursue the following mission and vision :
To advocate for the rights of Persons with Disabilities to ensure promotion of inclusive development and human rights for Persons with Disabilities in Region.
An inclusive society where Persons with Disabilities are treated with dignity, respect and on the basis of equality.
SAFOD seeks volunteers who can either currently utilize the internet wherever they may be or physically work at our Secretariat, to mobilize resources, to carry out on-line campaigns, to document issues on-line, to support with events management, translation of key documents.
We are a non-profit entity duly registered under the Botswana law, supported by community well-wishers, philanthropists, local and international foundations, international development partners and through other legitimate and transparent fundraising activities.
SAFOD wants to continue to implement its unique programs in the communities that focus on bringing about positive changes in the lives of marginalized persons with disabilities in Southern Africa. Find out how you can join hands with us to achieve our shared goals.
We ask you to spare even as little as two minutes only (or more, preferably!) of your precious time to get involved with our work at SAFOD and help make a mark in this world that is yet grappling with the idea of levelling the ground for everybody – both those with or without disabilities – to enjoy their inherent rights.
SAFOD will be hosting a charity run in collaboration with BOFOD. The objective of the charity run to raise funds to improve the quality of life for the three identified children with Cerebral Palsy and to increase awareness about children with disabilities. The marathon will be hosted under the name Stride for Inclusion. The Stride for Inclusion charity run is not only a fundraiser, the event will also stimulate crucial conversations about disability rights and inclusion.
