Disability organizations in India - India

Disability is both a cause and consequence of poverty. Poverty causes disability due to limited access to good nutrition, adequate health care, clean water, or unsafe working conditions. A person with disability is less likely to have access to education, health and employment and rehabiliation making it difficult for them to escape the vicious cycle of poverty.
