About us

Each year, approximately 6000 children are directly assisted through the society’s 
Community Based Rehabilitation   (CBR) approach, which emphasizes the use of locally 
available   resources, active involvement of parents and family members and rehabilitation 
with the home environment. 

We believe every child with a disability is a child first, unique in their   abilities and their 
potential, and equal in their rights to survival, education, health, protection, recreation,& 
rehabilitation. Over 250,000 individual disabled children have been assisted in terms of 
meeting their medical rehabilitation, educational placement or vocational training needs.
 These individual level interventions have completely changed the lives of these children 
many of whom have grown up to become productive and independent adults. They have 
also become role models or positive examples for the communities they come from and 
for individual families and their disabled children.  

The staff at USDC are motivated by the World Declaration of the Survival, Protection and 
Development of Children, which states, "We do this not only for the present   generation, 
but for all generations to come. There is no task nobler than giving   every child a better 
future."

Our Vision: A society in which children with disabilities have equal   rights and equitable 
opportunities for growth and development.               

Our Mission: USDC exists to help children with   disabilities and their families to access 
resources and opportunities to enable   them to achieve their full potential.
