Our Mission

Mission Statement

Kadiwaku Foundation is dedicated to promoting the social and economic inclusion of young people with disabilities in the Democratic Republic of Congo. We envision a society where persons with disabilities are fully integrated, valued for their capabilities, and empowered to achieve their potential.

We are on a mission to transform the lives of youth with disabilities through entrepreneurship, employment support, and digital skills development. We advocate for their rights, challenge stereotypes, and create opportunities that bridge the gap between ability and opportunity.
