Description

Handicap International has been working in China for more than 14 years with the objective to improve the socio-economic inclusion of people with disabilities, especially in rural areas, trough pilot projects run in close cooperation with governmental partners, civil society and associations of people with disabilities.

More than 75 % of the 83 million people with disabilities in China are living in rural areas and, thus, are facing difficulties to access to services for people with disabilities.Only 33% of people with disabilities needing rehabilitation services receive them. Only 20% of people with disabilities needing assistive devices have access to such devices. The illiteracy rate of people with disabilities aged 15 or above is more than 40 %.As a consequence the average annual income per person with disabilities is less than half of the average national income per person.

The ongoing projects of the China Program are Institutional Rehabilitation, Community Based Rehabilitation, Access to Education, Promoting disability rights, Disability Gender and Sexuality and Mental Health. We also advocate for more quality services and better inclusion of Disabled Persons’ Federation (CDPF), the media and the academic sector.
