Supporting people everywhere

Down Syndrome Education International is committed to helping people with Down syndrome everywhere.

Our research and publishing helps many thousands of people every week in over 130 countries around the world.

People with Down syndrome are born into families everywhere. In many countries, many aspects of life for many people with Down syndrome have improved in recent decades. However, for many others this has not happened.

Down Syndrome Education International is committed to helping people with Down syndrome everywhere. To help in meeting this commitment, the charity offers comprehensive and freely accessible information and advice online. The charity also offers membership, products and services at reduced rates to individuals and organisations experiencing financial hardship, and particularly those in less economically developed countries.
