Rumah Disabilitas

Founded on July 27, 2020, Rumah Disabilitas emerged from a pressing need to address the systemic challenges faced by persons with disabilities in Indonesia. Based in Palembang, South Sumatra, this nonprofit organization was established with a clear mission: to create a national platform that champions disability rights and empowers young people to engage with disability issues. Unlike traditional PR agencies that focus on corporate communications, Rumah Disabilitas operates at the intersection of advocacy, community organizing, and strategic communications, using public relations tools to amplify the voices of marginalized groups.

Rooted in Advocacy, Driven by Communication

Rumah Disabilitas serves as both an advocacy organization and a communications hub. Its work centers on raising awareness about disability rights, promoting inclusive policies, and fostering a more accessible society. Through public relations and communications services, the organization bridges the gap between the disability community and the broader public. By leveraging Palembang as its base, Rumah Disabilitas connects local grassroots efforts with national conversations, ensuring that disability issues remain visible in public discourse. The organization’s approach is grounded in factual, evidence-based messaging that challenges stereotypes and promotes understanding.

Services and Specialties

While Rumah Disabilitas primarily identifies as a nonprofit and NGO, its communications arm offers a range of services tailored to disability advocacy and community engagement. These services are designed to support individuals, organizations, and government bodies in creating inclusive communication strategies. Typical offerings include:

• Strategic communications planning for disability awareness campaigns
• Media relations and press outreach to highlight disability issues
• Content creation, including articles, social media posts, and videos
• Training and workshops on inclusive language and representation
• Event coordination for advocacy and community-building activities
• Partnership development with NGOs, corporations, and government agencies

These services reflect Rumah Disabilitas’s commitment to using communications as a tool for social change, rather than for commercial gain. The organization focuses on ensuring that disability narratives are accurate, respectful, and impactful.
