Medical Rehabilitation of Person with Disabilities in
the Earthquake Affected Areas (MRDEA) is a Rs. 742.41
million project of ERRA, specifically designed to
provide comprehensive rehabilitation services to Persons
with Disabilities (PWDs) in the earthquake affected
areas, which is the biggest project of its kind in
Pakistan. Through this Project, ERRA attempts to create
and build capacity of PWDs, their families and the
community at large. This Project is a combination of
Community Based Rehabilitation (CBR) and Institution
Based Rehabilitation (IBR). In view of the problems
existing in the affected areas the scope of the Project
includes infrastructure, training and capacity building
both in terms of human resource and equipment that have
been designed to cater for the needs of the PWDs and
their mainstreaming into the society.
