ABSTRACT
People with disabilities are barred from microcredit schemes. A literature search
on the participation of people with disabilities in microcredit schemes resulted
in 16 documents. The statements, recommendations and generalisations in
these documents are not supported with strong evidence and are ‘expert
opinions’ at best. Inclusion of people with disabilities within institutional
schemes and self-helping schemes is recommended throughout the world.
However, these seem most affected by excluding mechanisms and inclusion
numbers lag behind. The absence of people with disabilities from these two
schemes makes them a less attractive option. To fulfil the current needs of

their work. The pragmatic solution is to work with the available resources in
order to change the situation of people with disabilities. click on the link above to read more
