FOUNDING CHAIRMAN’S MESSAGE

The Physically Disabled Foundation is a civil society organization that, in accordance with its mission and institutional approach, prioritizes that all projects it undertakes address a specific problem in the field and be original and sustainable. Indeed, all projects we have implemented to date have either been continued by our foundation or transferred to a public institution for continued operation.

Since its inception, we have implemented numerous projects to make life easier for people with disabilities and contribute to their inclusion in society. Some of these projects were completed temporarily, while others are still ongoing.

Another characteristic of FEV is that it is a compassionate organization that works diligently and focuses solely on its defined purpose, without discriminating against anyone for any reason.

FEV has remained a pristine NGO since 1995, faithful to these principles and meticulously completing every project it undertakes. This is, in essence, our most important achievement, one that will carry us confidently into the future.

Regarding our future outlook, we aim for FEV to be among the top five NGOs that perform the most successful work in its field, both quantitatively and qualitatively. Therefore, we are reviewing our processes and institutional structure to implement all necessary steps. We aim to achieve a structural transformation that generates resources by operating a technology-driven service-project cycle, while preserving the core spirit that sustains us.

FEV ultimately operates on an economic infrastructure that supports and generates resources for its purpose. Managed by compassionate, ethically-minded Human Resources that embrace the spirit of the Foundation, it is on the verge of a transformation that is as transparent and accountable as ever. We hope to expand our services by developing more projects, raising more resources, and reaching a greater number of people with disabilities.
