Ability-in-Disability Initiative is a Changemaker. Working in the spirit of our motto, “a friend in need is a friend indeed,” we have over the past years been working relentlessly to prove to mankind that “there is ability in every disability.” We are proud to be the first non-governmental organization in Nigeria to designed and implement a project to harness the innovative and latent powers of the mobile phone, GSM/SMS introduced into the country by the OBJ administration as an effective technique for combating mankind’s most pressing health, wiliness, human rights, socio-economic, sexuality and reproductive rights, and developmental problems of our time. In particular, we educate, inform and empower women with disabilities on their fundamental rights, their health, sexuality and reproductive rights and on HIV/AIDS prevention, care and treatment.

We our most delighted to be associated with the philosophy, which postulates that "blessed is the hand that giveth, than the hand that taketh."

Equal opportunities, equal rights and justice irespective of gender, race, color abilities or disabilities.

We have a strong background of work in human rights awareness campaigns, community development as well as health and wellness services. In July, 2007-June, 2008, we carried out HIV/AIDS Education for Girls in Tertiary Instructions in South-East, Nigeria. 3,000 female undergraduates from 8 Universities, directly benefited from the program. We provided basic counseling for over 30 commercial sex workers in Enugu Metropolis on how to protect themselves and their clients from HIV. We established a Computer Lab with High Speed Internet access to ease access to information and computer training for members of our community. In January-June, 2009 we constructed a Water Borehole and carried out Water and Sanitation Project for Oaba Community in Uzo-Uwani, Nigeria and trained selected members of the community on the management, and security and maintenance of installed equipments before handing over the project to the community to ensure sustainability of the project.
