Our parent self-help groups provide children with disability and their parents with a network of peers with whom to exchange information and learn about disability and human rights, advocacy, and income generation. The groups provide an ideal forum for peer-education, group problem solving and development of self-advocacy skills.
We have helped to establish 16 parent self-help groups in 4 sub-districts of Sirajganj, Bangladesh. Over 750 children and parents attend these groups.
