Who They Are
The South African Disability Alliance (SADA) is the collective voice of South Africa’s disability sector — a powerful coalition of organisations working together to promote and protect the rights, dignity, and participation of persons with disabilities across every sphere of life.
What They Do
SADA brings together leading disability advocacy bodies, support groups, and specialist organisations to speak as one on key issues: education, employment, accessibility, equality, and human rights. The Alliance actively engages government, civil society, and the private sector to ensure that disability inclusion is more than a promise — it’s a shared priority with measurable impact.
Why It Matters
Despite progressive legislation, people with disabilities in South Africa still face significant barriers to meaningful work, accessible environments, and full community participation. By uniting diverse voices and expertise, the Alliance tackles systemic obstacles head-on, shares resources, and drives policies and partnerships that create lasting change.
Where Disability Connect Fits In
As an active supporter of SADA’s mission, Disability Connect stands alongside the Alliance to amplify its advocacy, share inspiring stories of progress, and bridge the gap between education and employment. Together, we’re building a future where every South African with a disability can thrive — because inclusion is not optional, it’s essential.
