Disability Equals Ability
Support people around the world with disabilities
We believe that disability does not define a person, and with the right support, every individual can achieve their full potential.
Disability Equals Ability (DEA) is dedicated to empowering individuals with disabilities by offering personalised advice, resources, support services, educational programs, and community networking opportunities.
Disability Equals Ability (DEA) aims to be a catalyst for positive change in communities across England, Wales, Nigeria, and Zimbabwe, by actively promoting equality and diversity, particularly focusing on eliminating discrimination against individuals with disabilities.
Join us in our mission to break down barriers, champion equality, and promote diversity through education, awareness, and advocacy.
We will champion the rights of disabled people. We will work to transform attitudes and perceptions of disability by raising awareness informing, empowering and supporting disabled people
