The International Day of Persons with Disabilities is celebrated since 1992, when the United Nations General Assembly adopted a resolution with a call to all countries to mark this day with the intention of raising awareness of the position of persons with disabilities in political, social, economic and cultural life, all with the aim of improving their position and creating conditions for equal participation of persons with disabilities in society.

People with disabilities, all over the world, face physical, social, economic and barriers in understanding people that exclude them from full participation in society as equal members. In that way, people with disabilities are additionally endangered. Therefore, the whole community and all citizens should make an extra effort and show greater understanding for people with disabilities and for the problems they face every day.

Our organization through various activities and projects helps people with disabilities in order to improve their quality of life.

By providing high quality home care and home help services, Ecumenical Humanitarian Organization strives to improve the quality of life of the elderly and sick, and also the people with disabilities, who have physical and mental difficulties that prevent them from living independently in their homes without regular help, hindred in activities of daily living, care and supervision, and with full or partial unavailabiti of a sufficient family support. The services in our project Home Care and Home Help is currently provided in the municipalities of Novi Sad, Stara Pazova, Bački Petrovac, Sečanj, Plandiste, Raška, Opovo and Gadžin Han.

Through the service Personal Companion of the Child, by providing appropriate individual practical support to a child with a disability, it is possible to get involved in regular schooling and community activities, in order to establish the highest possible level of independence.
