Support for the disabilities in Jaffna is a question!

In Sri Lanka it is estimated that there are over 200,000 people with disabilities, with around 80% living in rural areas where there are even less opportunities to take part in the development process. The relationship between poverty and disability is significant in both economic and social terms. 20% of people living in absolute income poverty in the world are disabled. Low literacy rates, limited economic opportunities, poor access to services, lack of voice in decision-making and high vulnerability, are all factors that exacerbate poverty levels amongst the disabled.
