About the organisation

What IAAWD is and why the organisation exists

IAAWD stands for the International Association for Agricultural Workers with Disabilities. The organisation's governing document describes it as a non-profit entity dedicated to the welfare of agricultural workers with disabilities.

The focus of the site is mission-first. It explains the need for support, advocacy, governance, and public education in agricultural settings where disability, rural work, family impact, and legal or property-rights issues can overlap.

IAAWD also publishes supporting documents and background material so visitors can read the governing document, understand the organisation's stated priorities, and make direct contact where relevant.

Core themes

  • Protection and welfare for agricultural workers with disabilities.
  • Support for family members affected by disability and rural legal issues.
  • Public education on rights, barriers, and agricultural disability needs.
  • Governance, accountability, and access to supporting documents.
