TRAINING AND EDUCATION

Training people with disabilities to become Rehabilitation Assistants was an extensive program that took place in the Sudan and Ethiopia some years ago. Many of the technical and professional staff who did the training are now members of Friends of interPART.

Following the end of the military activities in Ethiopia most of the former trainees went to work in government hospitals in Tigray, Ethiopia. Being one of the poorest countries in the world there is still a need for support to be given to physical rehabilitation. Contact with former trainees has resulted in Friends of interPART being asked for technical assistance in the form of on-going training, text books and items of basic equipment and supplies.

In a country with very limited services, such as physiotherapy and occupational therapy, Friends of interPART is responding to this request.
