DDSP, "Disability Development Services Program", is a Cambodian non-governmental organisation launched in January 2003. As because of its great achievement and good reputation; some visitors, donors as well as evaluator team recommended extending to new areas out of Pursat province. To response the above recommendation, this small organisation has changed its name from “Disability Development Services Pursat” to “Disability Development Services Program” since 25th January 2010.
DDSP is one of the few rural Cambodian organisations providing community services to disabled people and other poor people. DDSP works with all disabled people, their families and the most poor, but focuses on the most vulnerable, especially disabled children, women, landmine survivors, elderly and people with severe disabilities such as paraplegia and cerebral palsy.
DDSP is based in Pursat province, a poor, rural province about 189 km northwest of the capital Phnom Penh. The province has many people disabled by poverty and landmines, but health and rehabilitation services for disabled people are woefully inadequate. Many of DDSP’s clients are war-disabled people or disabled from the birth, eg. amputees from landmine accidents, people with intellectual disabilities, with cerebral-palsy, Down syndrome, autism,...
DDSP works in areas which used to be battlefields during Cambodia’s civil war, and are still affected by landmines today.
