News2026-2030 Policy plan – Everyone counts

Our course for the next five years: sustainable change – Everyone counts

With our new five-year policy plan, we are building on 25 years of experience. In the coming years, we will focus on achieving sustainable, structural changes for children and young people with disabilities and their families.

Our vision is clear: Everyone counts. That is why we are committed to social sustainability, with a focus on safety, recognition and development opportunities.

We want children and young people with disabilities to be able to participate fully in society – today and in the future.

Our six priorities

1. A more inclusive society: Children and young people with disabilities are full members of society. They feel safe, are recognized and have equal opportunities to develop. Because: everyone counts.
2. Strong parent and youth groups: We encourage independently functioning and recognized groups of parents and young people. They support one another and stand together to advocate for their rights and opportunities.
3. Strengthening the volunteer network: We are building an active and recognized network of volunteers that supports our mission and is firmly rooted in the community.
4. Building new partnerships: We connect communities, organizations and local governments, so they can work together to provide appropriate support for people with disabilities.
5. Sustainable sharing of knowledge and experience: Niketan’s knowledge and experience is shared sustainably, so that more and more communities and organizations can benefit from it.
6. Financial sustainability: We ensure a strong and stable financial foundation, so that our support for children, young people and their families is also guaranteed in the future.

Working together towards lasting impact

With these six priorities, we are setting a clear course for the coming years.
We are working toward a society where children and young people with disabilities can grow up safely, feel valued and have ample opportunities. Because everyone counts.
