Grant Description

APRODEH will prepare approximately 520 mentally disabled individuals and their families to advocate for their position with respect to Perus decentralization process.

It will assist trainees in forming a national network to assure the mentally disabled are involved in all public discussions of resources and services.

Additional funds will allow APRODEH to offer more services to leadership trainees in three locations and cover the increased cost of bringing to Peru international specialists in training for the mentally disabled.
