Goal of SEDAD

(Socio Economic Development Association for Disable)

The Socio Economic Development Association for Disable (SEDAD) is dedicated to ensuring that persons with disabilities become empowered, self-reliant, and fully integrated into society. The overarching goal of the organization is to promote inclusive socio-economic development by providing education, skills, health support, and opportunities for meaningful participation in community life.

SEDAD recognizes that poverty, discrimination, and lack of accessibility remain key challenges for people with disabilities in Bangladesh. Therefore, its goal is not only to provide direct services but also to influence systems and structures—helping to build an environment where every individual can live with dignity, equality, and independence.
