Why Give to Accomplish?
We focus on remote parts of Africa where disability is poorly understood and often seen as a curse, and where disabled children are sometimes described as worthless.
Our mission is to change attitudes so that every child is loved and respected, and has the opportunity to thrive.
We work with grassroots organisations run by local people. They are best placed to understand the local needs, to provide support for families and caregivers, and to change attitudes in their communities.
Poverty is endemic in the communities where we work, but disabled children suffer disproportionately more. They are more likely to be malnourished and to drop out of school.
You can make a difference
We address multiple factors affecting disabled children (health, education, poverty, local beliefs) for greater and lasting impact.
We tackle poverty through farming. Families grow crops and raise livestock, selling surplus food to earn money. Each family gives seeds or piglets to another disabled child, so the project grows.
We work sustainably where possible. We collaborate closely with our partner organisations to encourage them to become more self-sufficient as they expand, e.g. by growing food.
Donations go directly to disabled children in Africa. Accomplish has very few overheads in the UK and is run entirely by volunteers.

Flonika, who is 10 and has cerebral palsy, has just learned to walk. This is a huge triumph for Flonika, who has always struggled with moving. She took her first steps two years ago and has been working really hard on her mobility exercises.
Help Flonika and children like her to keep gaining in strength.
