PWD-led since 2019

Mabuhay nang malaya. Maging kabahagi.

Live independently. Belong fully.

Kaya PH is a community of Filipinos with disabilities building lives on their own terms and making a difference in the communities they call home.

Ang paninindigan namin / What we hold

Hindi lang kami tagatanggap ng tulong.

We are not only recipients of help.

Persons with disabilities are professionals, entrepreneurs, creatives, advocates, family members, neighbours and leaders.

We have a place in our communities and a voice in shaping them. Our members run shops in Cebu, teach in Iloilo, write code in Metro Manila, farm in Nueva Ecija and sit on accessibility committees in their own barangays. When a decision affects PWDs, we want PWDs in the room while it is being made, not consulted once it is done.

Independent living does not mean doing everything alone. It means having the freedom, accessibility, resources and support to make decisions about your own life. A member who works with a personal assistant, uses a wheelchair, reads with a screen reader or leans on family is living independently in every sense that matters.

Kaya PH exists so that support is easier to find, and so that nobody has to keep proving they belong before they can take part.

Mga kuwento / Member stories

Sa kanilang sariling salita.

In their own words.

A member in a wheelchair in a university library, holding an open book and smiling.

“I came for the job circle and stayed for the people. Now I run the resume clinic every second Saturday.”

“Dumating ako para sa trabaho. Nanatili ako para sa samahan.”

A member with a limb difference painting a flower on a small canvas at her kitchen table.

“The pricing workshop taught me what my work is worth. I have two commissions a month now, and a waiting list.”

“Natutunan ko kung magkano ang halaga ng gawa ko.”

A member walking along a city sidewalk with a white cane, following the tactile paving.

“We asked the city to fix one crossing. We ended up on the accessibility committee. That part I did not expect.”

“Isang tawiran ang hiningi namin. Naging upuan sa konseho.”

Accessibility statement

Dapat kayang gamitin ng lahat.

This site, and every event, should work for you.

We build to WCAG 2.2 AA and test with members who use screen readers, magnification, switch access and keyboard-only navigation. Every page works at 200 per cent zoom, every control is reachable by keyboard, and no information is carried by colour alone.

If something here blocks you, that is a defect and we want to hear about it. Tell us what happened and we will fix it, then tell you when it is done.

At our events

Filipino Sign Language interpreters at all national events, on request for chapter events
Step-free venues, accessible toilets and a quiet room
Live captions for every online session
Large print, plain language and audio versions of handouts
Transport support for members travelling from outside the host city

Ask us for anything else

Registration always ends with one open question: what do you need to take part? Whatever the answer, we will try to arrange it and we will tell you honestly if we cannot.
