Open the world for a child with a disability
Providing assistance through local partners
The Liliane Foundation’s key objective is to ensure that children with disabilities in developing countries take a full and active part in everyday life, joining in family and community activities. In order to achieve this, our local partners play a crucial role.
We welcome our partners to this platform. We invite them to use it as a source of information and as an opportunity to share knowledge and exchange ideas. Together, we open the world.

Archie (9), Philippines
Archie was born with brain damage. When he was three, all he could do was lie down. He could hardly talk.
With the support of the Liliane Foundation, he visited a physical therapist and a speech therapist.
Archie can speak much better now. And he learned how to walk. What does he enjoy the most? Drawing.
lebanese mediator role model
From the age of four, the Lebanese Hussein Ismail, mediator for the Liliane Foundation, attended a school for deaf children. In his home village, Hussein did not feel at ease. He did not dare to use sign language, afraid that the village children would laugh at him.
Nowadays, Hussein is an important role model who gets much media attention: he has a doctor’s degree and is founder of a special High School for the Deaf.
