Disabilities

The World Health Organization conservatively estimates that 10% of the Kenyan population has a disability of some sort. A thorough research study is still needed to determine the exact statistics and to determine the common causes. It is likely that the higher numbers of people with disabilities in developing countries is due to the lack of adequate health care, diseases such as malaria and meningitis, malnutrition, and other issues related to poverty. People with disabilities in the developing world are sometimes viewed as having received a curse from God, or as subhuman, and are often neglected, abandoned, abused, raped or even killed.
