More information
The objective of the Liliane Foundation is to give access to medical and social rehabilitation to children and youngsters with disabilities in developing countries. Characteristic of this assistance is that it is implemented in cooperation with local contact persons, through direct, small-scale and tailor-made assistance that supports the personal growth of the child and its integration in society. The assistance concerns (para) medical treatment, surgery, appliances, (special) education, vocational training and the process of gaining independence. The Liliane Foundation advocates inclusive policies. This means that the interests of disabled people are a natural and essential point of attention in every phase of policy concerning any area. It also means that people with a disability or their representatives should be included in the process.
