Description of organisation

Fundación Dfa is the most representative Non-Governmental Organisation of Aragon (Spain)in the field of physical disability, as much for the number of members it brings together as for the activities it has been carrying out since 1976.

Fundación Dfa currently has thousands of members, a staff of 687 workers(the majority of whom are people with disabilities)and a well-established team of volunteers. Its philosophy has remained the same year after year: to move towards the full inclusion of a group of individuals who want to work, study, have fun, communicate and, ultimately, live freely.

-Social promotion and defense of the rights of people with disabilities

-Collaboration with public authorities and other social agents regarding the design, monitoring and evaluation of the plans, programmes and services aimed at the group
-Promotion, creation and management of centres and services for the comprehensive care of people with disabilities
