Today marks 10 years since the Stephen Beck, Jr., Achieving a Better Life Experience Act (ABLE) was signed into law by President Obama. ABLE tax-exempt savings accounts help designated beneficiaries pay for qualified disability-related expenses. ncd.gov/2024/12/19/national-…

Excited to learn more about the program and next steps at the @HarkinSummit this December!
A pioneer initiative in South Asia, that started three years ago as NCPEDP Javed Abidi Fellowship on Disability came to conclusion today. A day, which celebrated development of leaders in their own rights in thematic areas ranging from accessibility, social security access to impact of climate change. Our fellows made the unimaginable possible beginning their individual exploration in Covid 19 pandemic. With support from the Azim Premji Foundation, this fellowship equips young leaders with advocacy skills to address barriers faced daily by India’s 200M+ disabled community. As we launch the next chapter, we remain committed to empowering youth with disabilities to drive inclusive policies and sustainable progress. Stay tuned for further updates. #NCPEDP #NCPEDPJavedAbidiFellowship
