MISSION: Inclusion and Welfare of persons with Disability

FOCUS: Public Health and Education for all

VISION: "Mobility in Adversity"

BELIEF:

The Exodus Guild subscribes to the social model of disability.   In this model, systemic barriers, negative attitudes, and exclusion from and by society intentionally and/or inadvertently) are the factors that define who is or is not “disabled”.

 

Our belief is that people who have physical, sensory, intellectual, or psychological variations, which may sometimes cause limitations and impairments, are disabled only when society fails to accommodate their individual differences.

This model acknowledges that some individual differences may cause limitations and/or impairments.  However, these differences are not always fundamentally disabling.

 

Our purpose with Exodus is to facilitate appropriate systemic change(s) whereby, people with disability are accommodated so that they too may have a livelihood.
