About Us
Disability Inclusion Sierra Leone
Disability Inclusion Sierra Leone (DI-SL), formerly known as Disability Rights and Inclusion Matters (DRIM) – Sierra Leone, is a registered local human rights and development organization (NGO). Our mission is to advocate for the interests of diverse youth with disabilities, encompassing those with sensory, intellectual, mental, and physical challenges in impoverished rural communities throughout Sierra Leone.
Established in November 2007 as a social movement, DI-SL evolved into a development program aimed at enhancing inclusion and participation for individuals with disabilities. We focus on influencing development actions and creating a positive impact on the lives of youths with different abilities.
