Jaipur Limb
Campaign (JLC)
JLC
was founded in 1992 and registered as a charity in 1995. JLC is based in
London. We do not have offices or staff in the countries that we work in
because we only work through partnerships with local organisations. Our work is
supported by UK donor agencies, charitable trusts and foundations, campaign
groups, churches, companies and many friends and supporters.
Disabled
men, women and children are among the poorest and most vulnerable in society.
We work with partner organisations to bring social and economic benefits to
disabled people in developing countries, especially those who have lost limb(s) or the use of limb(s) through war, accidents or
preventable diseases like polio.
Our
programmes address disabled people’s basic needs, rights and livelihoods.
Working together with our partners, we research and develop programmes that
create opportunities for people with disabilities and their families so that
they can take control over their lives and join the main stream of society as
equal and valued contributors.
We
currently support projects on income generating schemes for people with
disabilities, their families and communities; partner capacity building;
training, physical rehabilitation; the development and promotion of appropriate
rehabilitation technology; disability awareness and networking our partners in
different countries to share experiences and expertise. We are working with partner organisations in
India, Mozambique, Angola, Bangladesh, Ethiopia and Nepal.
Please visit our Website for
more information about programmes and partnerships.
For
the Baring Foundation’s International Programme Seminars we have invited Isaac
Nyathi of Disability Initiatives and Services (DIS) to be our representative
from the field. DIS supports disabled people’s organisations in Southern and
Eastern Africa in the areas of advocacy and lobbying, conflict resolution,
planning, monitoring and evaluation. DIS
has helped to deliver capacity building training and planning for JLC partners
in Angola and Mozambique.
