An empowered community free of inequality

Care Society is a non-government organization (NGO) founded in November 1998. Our purpose is to serve persons with disabilities in the Maldives and to provide an open forum in the community in which people with disabilities could participate, contribute to and benefit from.

We firmly believe that people with disabilities can make a positive contribution to the community if given the proper support and opportunities. Care strives to work with all sectors of the nation in its programs and advocacy work, including other NGOs, general public, private sector and state authorities.

Too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring, all of which have the potential to turn a life around.
