About
Have you ever thought of the limited opportunities available to disabled people in terms of earning a living? For many, their disability means a life dependent on government assistance.
The need for special equipment, nursing help and medical attention is an added financial strain for these people whose disability has already place enormous restrictions on their lifestyle.
A loss of self-respect is only one of the many problems disabled people face, however mentally, it can be one of the most damaging.
The Mouth and Foot Painting Artists (MFPA) is an international organisation which gives disabled people the opportunity to become financially independent while at the same time offering them creative fulfillment.
