Advocacy & VSLAs

Strengthening PWD-led voice, savings groups, community mindset change, and local accountability.

What this program does

Advocacy & VSLAs is AWL’s voice and resilience pillar. It supports persons with disabilities to organize, save together, speak for their rights, and influence how community decisions are made. This work matters because accessibility is not only a building issue. It is also about attitudes, leadership, economic agency, and making sure people with disabilities are present when decisions are made.
