Stichting Mark

About Stichting Mark

The MARK foundation supports and organises projects that promote the integration and well-being of people living with a mental handicap or autism in Sub Sahara Africa. Our main project is Mark's farm in Tanzania.

VISION: “Every person counts”, that describes our vision in just three words. It might seem to speak for itself. However, the reality in countries like DR Congo or Tanzania is a hard one. A Congolese man, sitting in his wheelchair, because he had polio as a child, describes the Congolese values towards people with a disability as follows: “I’m not handicapped, the only thing is that I can’t walk because my legs no longer work. When you’re head is no longer functioning, than you really have a problem!”

In a society in which the daily strugle for just surviving already costs too much energy of it’s people, those living with autism or a mental disability are literally the outcasts. We are convinced that every person is valuable and has the right to his or her own safe place in society. A place that takes into account that we’re not all gifted in the same way. A place that enables disabled people to make optimal use of their talents.

MISSION It is our mission to enable people living with autism and/or a mental disability to find a place in African society that suits their talents and possibilities.
