What We Do
Support Those With Health & Disabilities Issues
Support Those With Health & Disabilities Issues
Those in Dominica who live with physical or mental disabilities from birth, accident or illness have a right to a normal life.
Lifeline advocates on behalf of those who cannot speak for themselves and collaborates with the Dominica Association of Disabled People (DADP) on accessibility issues and promoting independence. For skills training we also are connected with Dominican Arts and Crafts Producers (DACPA). We also provide support to those who are bereaved due to AIDS. Losing your adult child can leave you especially vulnerable in old age and losing a parent to AIDS can leave you discriminated against in Society Likewise, Lifeline has worked alongside the Salybia Mission Project to help with the particular needs of the Kalinago People. And, Lifeline fully supports the Because We Care Fundraising Initiative, (in support of the Dominica Cancer Society) which raises funds for patients to pay for chemotherapy in Dominica and Radiotherapy or specialist treatment overseas. |
