Sumero promotes human rights, advocacy and self-advocacy of intellectually disabled people to achieve social inclusion through deinstitutionalization, including the implementation of comprehensive community-based services and housing. This consists of giving disabled people the opportunity to live in community houses with psycho-social assistance, in order for them to achieve their freedoms (mobility, expression) by making new social relations, learning how to take care of themselves (cooking, shopping, cleaning…) and gain their independence while knowing their rights. We now gather 26 small local non-profit associations to promote the rights of persons with different types of disabilities in the two major parts of Bosnia and Herzegovina; the Federation of BiH and the Republika Srpska.
