Background

CAMP established the Disability Resource Center (DRC) in Mansehra, Khyber Pukhtunkhwa in 2007. The DRC is the first of its kind information sharing/advocacy/service coordination centre in the province. The Project supports an outreach programme to identify disabled children and adults, provide community based rehabilitation services and refer them on to NGO-run prosthetic/orthotic and other rehabilitation units established in the area post earthquake.

An inclusive education programme is working with local schools to encourage and prepare them to bring children with physical and sensory disabilities into mainstream education; and a life skills training programme, providing the disabled with locally appropriate skills (carpentry, handicrafts, livestock farming etc) and, in parallel, working with local employers to encourage them to consider employing people with disabilities. Leonard Cheshire Disability (LCD) has been funding the project since 2007.
