Since 1981, persons with disabilities have organised themselves into their own organisations all over the world, including in South Africa.
These organisations not only provide various products and services to assist persons with disabilities, but also provide a voice of their own. Identifying needs, expressing views, evaluating services and advocating for change and public awareness, these organisations believe that persons with disabilities are their own best spokespersons.

Nothing About Us, Without Us!

“Nothing about us without us” – conveys the idea that people affected by a policy or law should be involved in its development and implementation.
It’s a call to overcome oppression, empower people with disabilities, and demand equal inclusion.

1. The National Council Of And For Persons With Disabilities (NCPD)

The National Council of and for Persons with Disabilities (NCPD) is an NGO with a footprint throughout South Africa. It plays a lobbying and advocacy role when it comes to the rights of persons with disabilities. Delivering services targeted at the needs of Persons with Disabilities, and the creation of an equitable and inclusive society.

NCPD is “an umbrella body coordinating the advancement of the rights of persons with physical disabilities in accordance with the White Paper on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities and more.”

NCPD have nine provincial Associations for Persons with Disabilities with numerous projects and branches that focus on rural development, and social development.

NCPD offers a variety of services including:

The National Council of and for Persons with Disabilities have programs in place that aid persons with disabilities, to find jobs & acquire skills that they my need in the workplace. “We offer BBBEE advice and services related to persons with disabilities, including: Job placement, Skills development, Preferential procurement, Ownership and supply chain development.”

The National Council of and for Persons with Disabilities offers Disability Equality Training courses to address the need for information about the reality of disability. Training is tailor made for every sector, including: Tourism, Tertiary Education, Banking, Mining and more. Through training they will find ways to challenge the organisational behaviour which reinforces negative myths and values and which prevents disabled people from gaining equality and achieving full participation in society. Training is done by an expert well trained team of persons with disabilities

The NCPD is proud to be in a position to offer various SETA accredited training courses ( short course, learnerships and internships) together with corporate partners whom then get their BBBEE POINTS for the DTI scorecard. We also do short training of Professionals in the Services and Health profession , for which these professionals get CPD points. The courses for architects, and other professionals is not accredited for CPD points. Other training includes Caregiver training for carers of children or adults; Governance training; Fundraising training; Disability Equity training; Reasonable accommodation; Inclusive design; Various impairments and the implications; Drivers of persons with disabilities; Human Rights and advocacy; Assistive device repairs & Transport and driving training. The majority of training sessions can be tailor-made to suit your needs.

Many persons with disabilities require the use of an assistive device for independence, but these devices are usually extremely expensive and therefore unaffordable for the majority. The public health system does what it can to provide devices, but the demand is huge and it cannot entirely fulfil the need. NCPD is not in a position to fund assistive devices, but from time to time, we are approached by donors wishing to fund assistive devices, which we can then pass on to individuals requiring devices.

Persons with disabilities are often excluded from many Events, Services, Information, Communication, Products and Venues, due to all users not considered during the planning phases. The National Council of and for Persons with Disabilities can assist to prevent this from happening by applying Universal Design Principals during the design phase.

We go to certain areas to ascertain if the information we have on-hand is correct and/or to be up-to-date with the current situation in those areas.

The same goes for projects but with projects we also need to see how sustainable these projects are and if they need assistance to either stay the course or change the project toward better outcomes for the participants and beneficiaries of these projects.

Vava iYouth is a project of the National Council of and for Persons with Disabilities (NCPD).

Living in an age where information is for the most part a click away to a large part of society, should mean that persons with disabilities enjoy all their non-disabled counterparts do, but despite democracy and the information age, persons with disabilities often still find themselves on the side-line when it comes to securing employment or even just having access to enjoy a sports match or theatre production. The need for raising awareness of impairment, disability and related matters, we aim to raise the level of awareness about disability related issues through various initiatives.

The National Council of and for Persons with Disabilities in partnership with the Department of Environmental Services, offers persons with severe physical Mobility Impairments the opportunity to gain access to certain beaches, by obtaining a permit from DEAT.

The rebate is also available for imported second-hand vehicles that have already been adapted.

The National Council of and for Persons with Disabilities can also supply information and assist with registering and applying for a Disabled Parking Disk, so that you will be able to park in a Disabled Parking space if you qualify.

The campaign encourages the public to contribute financially through a small donation of R20 for a sticker, and at the same time lobbies for the full inclusion and equity of persons with disabilities. So, not only does Casual Day raise funds, but it also raises awareness in a fun way!

Terminology: Why We Use The Words We Do

While the terms “Disability” and “Impairment” are often used interchangeably, they do in-fact have very different meanings.

An “Impairment” is something that has happened to the body which cannot be changed, such as a condition, disease or injury, while a “Disability” happens to the person with an impairment when society puts barriers in their way, fails to uphold their rights or does not provide reasonable accommodations.

Barriers that can create disability can be categorized into Environmental, Information, Communication and Attitudinal Barriers.

Visit our Information Desk to find out more about Disability and Impairment.

1. Disability-owned organisations (NPOs or NGO’s): are at least 50% owned by persons with disabilities and render disability services, including advocacy.

2. Representative organisations of persons with disabilities (OPDs): Constitute the collective voice of persons with disabilities, are at least 50% owned by persons with disabilities, have membership and primarily advocate for the rights of persons with disabilities and provide services to their members.

3. Disability Service Organisations (DSOs): Focus on service delivery (rehabilitation, habitation, counselling, training, employment support etc.) to persons with disabilities, and are not necessarily owned by persons with disabilities, or membership-based organisations.
