Association for Latvian Children with Movement Disabilities

Our story

The association "Latvian Children with Motor Disabilities" is a community that brings together dedicated parents, specialists and volunteers. For 25 years we have been creating change together.

Why we do what we do

Our mission

To provide children in Latvia with motor disabilities and their families with accessible, high-quality rehabilitation, practical tools for everyday life and an emotionally supportive community in which every child can develop and live to the fullest.
