The problem is deeper rooted than just providing these kids with food and meeting all their physical needs.Our society's perception to this minority group needs adjusting because we create the stigma that exists when we perceive them as different when they are not.
They are humans like us and should be treated equally.

Our Core Values
Dedication to Integrity:
CaHD is committed to performing only honorable initiatives that are run in an honest, transparent and ethical way.
Empowerment:
We are not seeking to find quick fix solutions to the problems we are solving. We strive to provide solutions by working together with children with disabilities, the community, churches, and all other esteemed donors. We connect and work hand in hand to make the community a better place to live.
Commitment to engage with the community:
We believe that individual differences in people is just a natural part of life that brings in the uniqueness, different insight and abilities in the community that contribute to overall wellbeing of the society.
