Standing beside a small special school so that its children have the spaces, therapy and opportunities they need to grow.
Strengthening the organisations closest to children
At Smiling Dandelion Foundation, we believe in supporting and encouraging smaller NGOs working in the field of disability that struggle with resources, funding and access to innovative interventions. At Discover Ability, there are 26 children of all age groups.
Capacity building for other NGOs is one of our key objectives. Many of these organisations struggle with growth and processes, and need support in strengthening their people and organisational structure. That is the kind of support we offer Discover Ability.
