DIMOBI CHILDREN DISABILITY TRUST

We work closely with families and we believe that families of disabled children deserve better and we are driven to fight and advocate for what is right, driving innovation and change that benefit families of disabled children, focusing on the impact we make. We challenge disadvantage and tackle inequality and help our families to deal with the barriers they face daily.
