The Laura and Wagner Foundation is a Curacao-based non-profit NGO (non-govermental organization) whose mission is to serve as an advocate for disabled people of all ages in Curacao and the Netherlands Antilles by:

• Lobbying for legislation that will protect the human rights and integrity of people who are blind and visually impaired; deaf and hearing impaired; and those who are mobility impaired, or who have epilepsy who rely on guide/assistance/seizure dogs, to ensure equal access with their service animals to all places non-disabled people go
• Producing educational, recreational and vocational conferences, media and online programs and resources that provide disabled individuals with enhanced opportunities for self-improvement and independence
• Coordinating the development of supportive community and workplace resources to promote the integration of disabled people into productive employment and training opportunities
• Advocating integrative support systems within public and private communications and transportation sectors to improve communications and mobility options for disabled individuals

Corporate and Individual donations of manpower, materials or funds are always welcome. Please contact Donations@LauraAndWagner.org for more information.
