Our history

The Enablement Foundation was born from the powerful union of two organizations with a shared vision: CPA (Cerebral Palsy Africa) and Enablement BV.

Founded in 1999, Enablement BV became a leader in Community-Based Rehabilitation (CBR) and Disability-Inclusive Development (DID), helping to uplift communities and transform the lives of people with disabilities. CPA, originally from Scotland, was deeply committed to supporting families of children with cerebral palsy, especially in Uganda, Ethiopia, and Ghana.

In 2024, these two organisations joined forces to create something even greater. This merger wasn’t just about preserving expertise—it was about amplifying our impact. Together as the Enablement Foundation, we are growing stronger, more professional, and more determined to ensure that children and adults with disabilities in low- and middle-income countries receive the care and support they need. Our mission is to continue pushing for a world where every individual is empowered to reach their full potential.
