Hand­iKOS (Asso­ci­a­tion of Para­plegics and Par­a­lyzed Chil­dren of Koso­vo) was estab­lished in 1983 with the main objec­tive to achieve full recog­ni­tion and par­tic­i­pa­tion of peo­ple with dis­abil­i­ties in soci­ety. Hand­iKOS active­ly lob­bies and advo­cates at local and cen­tral lev­el for the rights of peo­ple with dis­abil­i­ties. The goal is to cre­ate an enabling and inclu­sive envi­ron­ment through increas­ing employ­ment oppor­tu­ni­ties, improv­ing access to edu­ca­tion, includ­ing PWDs in social wel­fare and social secu­ri­ty schemes and improv­ing phys­i­cal acces­si­bil­i­ty. Hand­iKOS also pro­vides assis­tive devices and pri­ma­ry phys­i­cal and psy­choso­cial reha­bil­i­ta­tion ser­vices through its 14 Com­mu­ni­ty Based Reha­bil­i­ta­tion Cen­tres and 12 Local Offices locat­ed through­out Koso­vo. Hand­iKOS main­tains a data­base and has so far reg­is­tered around 18.000 chil­dren and adults with dis­abil­i­ties (with phys­i­cal and com­bined disabilities).
