Stephanie Thermora's Company Details
The Disability Rights Fund envisions a world where persons with disabilities participate fully in society and enjoy equal rights and opportunities. DRF supports disabled persons organizations (DPOs) around the world to build diverse movements, ensure inclusive development agendas, and achieve equal rights and opportunity for all. Our primary strategies include grantmaking, technical assistance, and advocacy. Our approach and philosophy are grounded in respect for these principles:• Learning and Change: Embracing an open approach to the work we are doing to advance rights of persons with disabilities. This requires learning from our actions, responding to needs as well as successes, and changing course when appropriate;• Partnerships: Encouraging the pursuit of a variety of partnerships as part of a strategy to increase capacity and advance rights;• Accountability: Committing to take responsibility for one's actions, especially when in a position of power;• A Culture of Rights: Promoting rights-based policies and programs;• Sustainability: Recognizing the need for community-led processes that can be sustained long-term in an environmentally friendly manner.
