The Global Abilities Foundation (GAF) was established to address significant challenges that persons with disabilities face to community integration. Individuals with disabilities often struggle with issues of depression, low self-esteem, and low motivation; organizations struggle to reach the people they want to serve; and the general public has limited understanding of the needs and capabilities of persons with disabilities. GAF programs empower individuals with disabilities to become more physically and socially active, help persons with disabilities access community resources, strengthen the capacity of disability-related organizations, and educate society about the potential of persons with disabilities given the resources and opportunity.
