Inside BLAC

Better Leven Advancement Centre (BLAC) is a Non-Governmental Not-for-Profit Youths, Disability and Development led organization based in Nasarawa state, Nigeria. Established in 2005 to be a Hub of Persons with Disabilities, Youth, women and Children in the Communities.

BLAC seeks to improve the living standards of disadvantaged community members through Policy reforms, system strengthening and community engagement. To achieve social inclusion, deepening democratic ethos and value reorientation, BLAC uses arrays of strategies to achieve mainstreaming of children, youths, women and persons with disabilities in all policy, programs and interventions of both and non-state actors. We work to sustain community development, Policy improvement, and empowering persons with disabilities for independent living.
