Abstract

Paper examines the social connections developed through two Disabled People’s Organisation programs in low-income, rural communities of Nepal and India. Mixed methods: network mapping surveys and Focus Group Discussions (FGDs) are used to compare between before joining group and time of study. Results clearly suggest positive impacts on social networks.
