National Council of and for Persons with Disabilities (NCPD)

The National Council of and for Persons with Disabilities (NCPD) is an NPO that plays an integral role in shaping South Africa into a country where persons with disabilities have access to equitable opportunities and rights. For over eight and a half decades, we have been running awareness programs, influencing government policies, promoting physical and social access, and facilitating economic participation for and with persons with disabilities.  

NCPD Vision

An all-inclusive and equitable society where the human rights of all are upheld and protected.  

NCPD Mission

Advocating, lobbying and raising awareness for and with Persons with Disabilities in achieving collaborative social and economic inclusion through innovation, partnerships, research, development and services.   Casual Day, the NCPD’s flagship project, provides much-needed funds for the work of hundreds of schools and organisations in the disability sector, including nine Provincial Associations of and for Persons with Disabilities (APDs) and nationwide projects/programs. These projects/programs encompass Workplace and Entrepreneurial Projects/Programs, Universal Design and Access Projects, Assistive Devices, and Gender-Based Violence Awareness and Training Programs for women and girls with disabilities.
