WATER and SANITATION IN DISABILITY REHABILITATION

Dear All

After a gap, happy to meet you all.

In continuation to our efforts of working for the empowerment of the persons with disabilities and other needy people on the life cycle basis needs convergence & multi-sectoral approach with community based and right based approaches / strategies.

In this direction water and sanitation is the key area which affects the health condition of the people as well as the environment in general and significantly in the rural villages.

In this direction, several NGOs have made a beginning in spreading the info cum awareness so that we all can have better health with eco-friendly environment.

On this subject, i am going to present the paper on "Access for Water and Sanitation in Disability Rehabilitation - A Study from the rural Villages of Andhra Pradesh" at the National Seminar to be held in the end of this month. This paper is going to give the suggestions and action plan with case studies on: Awareness, Implementation and Management of water and thus improving the access for water which further improves the access for better sanitation facilities. This process finally play significant role in the process of rehabilitation of the persons with disabilities in two stages: one in the stage of prevention of disability and the second to enhance the support services of the rehabilitation.

In both the cases, it works for the betterment of the peole as well as the community. After the presentation and discussion with other professionals, i will be posting the outcome with suitable measures in improving the access for sanitation and other support services in general and particularly for the persons with disabilities.

Looking forward..
