Who are we?
‘Made for More’ is a Non Profit Company (NPC Registration no. 2016/038814/08) and a Public Benefit Organisation (PBO no. 930055257) that aims to include, equip and empower people with disabilities.
• empowering people • discovering purpose • reaching potential
Our vision is to see people with disabilities living passionate and purpose-filled lives.
Our mission
Love. Unity. Inclusion. Kindness. Justice.
These values reveal our heart for what we hope to exude and carry out as an organisation. Firstly, we desire the love of Christ to be the foundation and guiding force in everything that we do.
We value unity because we strongly believe that visions thrive in an environment of unity which is the outflow of building and maintaining solid relationships. We desire unity for ALL God’s people and we hope to cultivate an environment of inclusion and oneness regardless of people’s disability, cultural background, socio-economic status or religious beliefs.
Kindness and justice are values that are often not shown to people with disabilities, therefore we desire to exercise these values in the hope of reviving, restoring and bringing justice to this community.
