Working today for a brighter and better tomorrow

Services and Advocacy for People with Intellectual Disabilities (SAPID) Ghana is a non-profit and non-governmental organization passionate about the singular goal of engendering an inclusive society for persons with intellectual disabilities. We work to achieve this by providing services and advocating for their fundamental human rights.

​

The organization is working at achieving this goal through efforts to reduce stigmatization by means of advocacy, training, and education of the public, research, and skill development of PWIDs. The organization has undertaken a project on the mobilization of parents with PWIDs in the central region of Ghana. The aim of the project was to create groups for these parents to serve as a medium for learning, empowerment, and community involvement.

​

SAPID Ghana has also been able to sponsor students with intellectual disabilities to take part in sporting activities including Special Olympics games held annually in Ghana and also, sporting activities held in Los Angeles in the United States of America and Cairo, Egypt. The children performed tremendously and won some awards for themselves and their schools.
