Executive Summary
The Disabled Peoples' International (DPI) spurred people to talk, participate and implement disability-associated initiatives around the world. The DPI dates back to 1981 when it was first established, and it was in the same year that the celebration of disabled people was launched. The year was called the International Year of Disabled Persons ("Disabled Peoples' International," 2016). A close examination at the world of disabled people reveals that the DPI has been in existence for 38 years. Considering the longevity of the non-profit organization, it is apparent that there is no other Disabled People's Organization (DPO) that has been established globally. The nonprofit has headquarters in Ottawa, Canada while it is in operation 139 nations worldwide ("Disabled Peoples' International," 2016). To establish its presence in these countries, the DPI uses Member National Assemblies (MNAs) present in seven regions of the world namely CIS, Europe, Arab, Latin America, Africa, Asia Pacific, and North America & Caribbean. In each region, the MNAs manage programs that offer capacity building and empower individuals with disabilities. The DPI is concerned with the gradual recognition of disabled individuals the incorporation of their rights in all sectors of the economy and the implementation of programs that improve the welfare of people with disabilities worldwide.
.We understand the rapidly changing demographics and dimensions of chronic diseases, which compel us to adapt our wellness program to meet each of their complicated and multifaceted needs.
We firmly believe that the program will play a central role in bringing the much-needed hope DPI underserved young and senior populations. We anticipate reduced CVD cases and fewer illiteracy levels, zero hunger, and improved lifestyles and living standards. The whole program requires up to $200, 000. Fortunately, we have received $160,000 from other funders, including personal contributions and county and state governments. For this reason, your investment in attune of $40,000 will go a long way in helping us complete the program. We appreciate you for considering our request.
Statement of Need
It is evident that in the past few decades, disabled people have been sidelined in every sector of the economy. In this case, the DPI stands as the link between these sectors and the disabled. The nonprofit emphasizes that disability does not equate to inability, but all disabled individuals have a role they can play in the society. Therefore, the organization seeks to improve the living standard and ensures that the human rights of people with disabilities are promoted (Christensen et al., 2014). The promotion of these human rights is achievable through the national assemblies that for the network of DPI. Therefore, the DPI ensures that all disabled individuals are identified within each of the seven regions of the world mentioned herein, advocates that the disabled be granted opportunities to participate in equalization and development projects locally, nationally, regionally and internationally.

Specific Objectives
In addition to the overall goals presented above, DPI has identified the following specific objectives, which we intend to achieve in the long run.

To establish and implement an emergency food or low-cost feeding program for 800 and neighbors with insufficient survival means.
Methods and Strategies
To achieve of the already established objectives, DPI will invest in the employment of the following methods and implementation strategies. The organization has a great deal of confidence in the selected techniques; given the fact that they have so far been tested for quality and effectiveness by fellow nonprofit and change-driven organizations, including the Centerville Community Center (CCC).
DPI personnel department will hire full-time and part-time healthcare professionals (HCPs), especially those specialized in the management of disabled
The DPI staff will establish an effective referral system, as well as a formal feedback mechanism to facilitate cooperation and communication between members and the organization and other local agencies. The feedback mechanism will further help in the various awareness creation.
Staff will place great emphasis on tracking participants’ progress in the various DPI programs and associated activities. They will record any relevant information and communicate the same to the organization management.
Plan of Evaluation
DPI has identified 200 dedicated individuals who will not only attend each of the health fairs but also speak with different HCPs with the sole purpose of receiving and documenting valuable and relevant health-related topics, as well as information needed to create the desired awareness on people with disabilities opportunities. Each of these people will have to undergo proper training. At the same time, our outreach worker will remain tasked with the responsibility of assessing each member respond to the already conducted risk assessments, especially by changing or altering their risky behaviors.
. n addition to the trainer, we will engage stress reductions, as well as nutrition specialists, who will play a leading role in evaluating pre-and post-test results or outcomes of the program.
All participants in the identified activities: aerobics or exercise program, health fair, as well as health screenings will have to report their health risk profile data and associated information. Additionally, we plan to conduct comprehensive interview surveys during the programs and health fair. Equally important, we will also administer community surveys both at the beginning and end of our program. Notably, these surveys will go a long way in measuring any tangible impact of the project on residents’ attitudes toward DPI programs, nutrition, exercise, as well as wellness.
