KOILS Inc. is a nonprofit organization dedicated to championing the rights and well-being of individuals with disabilities. Our mission is to advocate for fair access to essential opportunities, ensuring every person has:
Our goals are centered around creating lasting impact. We provide educational programs that inform and empower individuals with disabilities, their families, and the broader community.
We support research that brings attention to systemic gaps and generates actionable insights. We also facilitate internship and employment opportunities, offering career training tailored to the strengths and needs of individuals with disabilities.
Additionally, our organization is deeply engaged in public advocacy—collaborating with partners to transform systems that have historically underserved our communities.
Our story began with one mother’s fight for her son. As a Black parent of a child with disabilities living in a rural area, our founder witnessed firsthand the injustices children of diverse ethnic backgrounds face in education, healthcare, and public systems.
Her son endured mistreatment, neglect, and exclusion in institutions meant to support him. Navigating these systems revealed a deep and urgent need—not just for better policies, but for a supportive community to stand by families like hers.
What started as a personal mission grew into a powerful movement. Through partnerships with advocacy groups, legal experts, and reform-minded institutions, KOILS has helped push for new protections and policy changes—especially for historically underrepresented communities.
As we continue to grow, we remain grounded in our founder’s vision: to heal, to advocate, and to lead. Today, we serve as a trusted resource and a strong voice for individuals with disabilities.
Together, we are building a future where every individual can learn, work, grow, and live with purpose—without barriers.
