Around the world PWD’s face physical, social, economic and attitudinal barriers that exclude them from participating fully and effectively as equal members of society. A lot of marriages have broken down because of births of special children. Many husbands have abandoned their wives and other children because of the birth of a special needs child, believing the child to be a support burden. Rampant poverty does not make things any easier. Ignorance Of Special Needs Issues, Stigma and Hostility by the Community. Due to limited information on special needs issues, communities have limited understanding, acceptance, support and integration of persons with disabilities. Children with disabilities are locked up in homes while their parents go about other routines like visits to the market and friends. No consideration of the effects of this abandonment registers with the parents or the community that indifferently looks on. Parental Indifference In Raising Special Needs Children Because there is no parent who gets prepared that they are to give birth to special needs children, many just shockingly find themselves in scenarios with special needs children. It takes long for the shock to wear off and by the time it does, a lot of time has gone where early therapeutic intervention would have been instituted on the child. Such negative attitudes and misinformation remain major barriers to inclusion. SCSP conducts community sensitization sessions, school outreach and advocacy activities to promote disability rights and inclusion. We work with local leaders, teachers and parents to foster environments where children with disabilities are valued and protected. Key outcomes: Reduced stigma and discrimination Increased community support for families Stronger local advocacy for disability inclusion

In addition to these, the beneficiaries are also given skills to make candles that give off a mosquito-repellent scent, when they are burned. At the end of the training, the beneficiaries are then supported with capital to carry on with the candle-making as an economic activity over an initial 3-month period.
