INTRODUCTION In Kenya about 4.6% of the population has some form of disability. Unlike poverty which has major differences in urban and rural areas, disability has no major differences in prevalence in the rural or urban areas or by sex but prevalence increase with age. The Kenya National Survey for People with Disabilities (KNSPWD) adopted the following as the working definition of disability: “a physical, mental, emotional or any other health condition or limitation that has lasted or is expected to last six or more months and which limits or prevents one from participating in the activities of daily life e.g. work, mobility, schooling, recreation and participating in community activities”. Persons With Disabilities (PWD) in Kenya live in vicious cycle of poverty due to stigmatization, limited education opportunities, inadequate access to economic opportunities and access to the labour market. The PWD Act No.14 of 2003 aims to ensure that the PWDs issues and concerns are mainstreamed.
