On the occasion of the 49th anniversary of the organization, the most outstanding leaders and associates were recognized in all the localities of Matanzas, while in the municipality of Jagüey Grande took place the main activity of the province to commemorate the founding date of Anci, which today groups more than 30,000 members throughout the country.

The organization’s present and future goals are to promote a culture of disability in Cuba, aimed at promoting social inclusion from a rights-based approach and leaving behind the welfare model.
