Our Story
Dinel Dias, the Founder and Director of My Own Pace, brings nearly a decade of dedicated experience in the disability support industry. Throughout his career, he has passionately advocated for the rights of individuals with disabilities, raised funds for charities, fostered strong relationships, and provided care with compassion and commitment.
Dinel’s journey in this field is deeply personal and was shaped by his early experiences growing up in Sri Lanka. There, he witnessed firsthand the widespread stigma and lack of resources that continue to marginalize individuals with disabilities.
Motivated by a desire to challenge these perceptions, this deeply ingrained societal taboo inspired him to take action and advocate for greater inclusion and support for people living with disabilities.
His passion for empowering others has been the driving force behind the creation of My Own Pace, where the focus is on providing holistic, person-centered care that fosters independence and dignity.
