This commitment is a vital mission of the Foundation.




 

Our Goals for Sustainable Development

 

Good Health and Well-Being 

It’s all about probabilities (the birth of a child with Down syndrome).

 At age 25, the probability is 1/1350. 
At age 30, the probability is 1/900. 
By age 35, it rises to 1/365. 
At age 45, it soars to 1/25.

Quality Education

Everyone deserves an opportunity to learn. Children with disabilities or from disadvantaged families should have equal access to education and vocational training opportunities.

Decent Work and Economic Growth

Understanding leads to acceptance. Children with Down syndrome can contribute meaningfully to society. With proper training, they become a valuable part of the workforce and a source of productivity.

Reduced Inequalities

We are not meant to be different in opportunities.  Everyone has the right to pursue their dreams. With early intervention, children with Down syndrome can also achieve their aspirations.

Responsible Consumption and Production

Inclusion and shared prosperity. Whether for service users, corporations, the environment, or the planet, commitment to sustainability is a lifelong responsibility.

Partnerships for the Goals

We are all part of the same global community. 

Earth's resources are shared by everyone, and marginalized groups are an integral part of society that should not be overlooked.
