Project Enable is a community development initiative that was founded in 2014 to advocate for the rights and empowerment of persons with disabilities in Nigeria. We believe that everyone deserves good quality life and that no one should be discriminated against on the account of their disability. We work to empower persons with disabilities; sensitize the community on the need to reduce discrimination and stigmatization; and advocate for the disability rights at all levels. We want every child, woman, man and young person with disabilities to also live a fulfilled life while contributing to our shared prosperity as a community.

Our Core Values
Empathy
We understand the need to first understand the needs of the community before attempting to serve such need; hence we empathize, not sympathize with the disability community.
Collaboration

Innovation
We always encourage innovative thinking among our team members, volunteers, programs beneficiaries as well as in the disability community. We believe that it is only with noble innovation that we will deliver an inclusive future.
Accountability
We ensure that we remain accountable, accessible and transparent to all our internal and external stakeholders. Our aim is to build trust, not control.
