Who We Are

The PFRD was organized in 1949 when Filipino were first being made aware of disability and was reistered with the SEC on February 10, 1950.

PFRD virtually launched the rehabilitation movement in the philipines and provided a forum for the coordination of rehab activities nationwide. It became the first local organization to be admitted as an affiliate member of Tehabilitation International (RI), a federation of organizatios in more than 80 countries worldwide.

PFRD has the distinction of being the oldest non-governmental organization (NGO) that has worked for the last 67 years to address the needs of disabled persons.
