About TUNAFASI

'We can't develop others, we develop ourselves.' - Joseph Ki-Zerbo The future of a community is shaped from within, by the people who live it. That is the starting point for everything TUNAFASI does.

TUNAFASI supports community-based programmes that strengthen existing local health, education, and social systems. The goal is that everyone, including persons with disabilities, can fully participate in society. Our work builds upon 25 years of practical experience, a comprehensive network and demonstrated impact. Our flagship approach, known as the ‘Disability Prevention & Rehabilitation Programme (DPRP), originates from Karuna Foundation in Nepal. The implementation and subsequent results of the DPRP proves that a bottom-up, systematic change approach towards disability-inclusion works, scales and lasts.

This approach is not exclusive to one programme or initiative. In fact, it’s the opposite. Whether communities are navigating disability, climate change, or other forms of marginalisation: a bottom-up systemic change approach offers an effective and clear framework to do so. TUNAFASI stands with local leaders and grassroots organizations who are working with the most marginalised communities in low-income and conflict-affected contexts. These are the communities most overlooked by the existing systems, who have been forced to figure it out by themselves. For these communities, the smallest shift from within can spark lasting change and impact.
