General Findings Access to safe water is one of the needs highlighted by persons with disabilities. Most of them only rely on tap water which in most areas they feel is still unsafe to drink. Therefore, they need tank to help them collect rain water for their drinking water. For those with water tanks they need it to be cleaned and purified before they can start using it again to access safe drinking water Toilet facilities – Most persons with disabilities are sharing toilet facilities with their relatives and neighbors as their own toilet and bathroom facilities were destroyed during the cyclone. In most cases they find it hard to bath or use the toilet facilities as it is either inaccessible or it will be busy due to the number of people sharing the facility Most persons with disabilities still in need of food, water and shelter Most assistive devices are broken and other livelihood tools either damaged or destroyed during the cyclone Most of the shelter is either partially damaged or completely destroyed and they are in need of materials to repair their houses or rebuild their homes as some of them are currently leaving in one corner of their damaged homes with Tapuline and makeshift shelter. Some of them is literally bathing and using toilets or cooking with no roof on its head, no doors and no walls. Accessibility is one of the major barrier faced by persons with disabilities in accessing services across all sectors
