Established in 2010, the NWAWWD is a nonprofit, regional level organisation working for the most marginalized and vulnerable grassroots women with disabilities. The aim is to strengthen the capacities of grassroots women living with disabilities to live dignified lives in society following a rights based approach. The grant awarded is to help commemorate the 2020 World AIDS Day event to promote the rights and mental wellbeing of women and girls living with disability and women and girls living with HIV/ADS.
