RA’ES HADOMI TIMOR OAN
The Timor Leste disabled peoples organisation (Ra’es Hadomi Timor Oan) was formed in 2006 in Dili, Timor Leste. Ra’es Hadomi Timor Oan has approximately 20 members who meet together monthly. The group has elected a leader, Mr Joazito dos Santos, who is employed by Leprosy Mission International to facilitate the development of the Ra’es Hadomi Timor Oan.
The Ra’es Hadomi Timor Oan vision is for Timor Leste to be free of discrimination and stigmatization towards people with disabilities. So far the group has:
• participated in sector wide Disability Working Group meetings
• attended training for the disability sector in Timor
• organised activities for International Day of the Disabled and
• been represented at community events.
