The book addresses the critical issue of over 500 million people with disabilities living in poverty, particularly in low-income communities. It highlights how inadequate access to sanitation and clean water exacerbates their plight, hindering progress towards the Millennium Development Goals on poverty reduction and health. The challenges faced by other vulnerable groups, such as the elderly, pregnant women, and those with health conditions, are also discussed. Despite the significance of these issues, there is a notable lack of literature and awareness among water and sanitation service providers regarding the needs of disabled individuals.
