Standing Up for My Disabled Village
A quarter of Eko Mulyardi's Indonesian home town are born with birth defects.
Eko Mulyardi is from the remote mountainous village of Karangpatihana in Eastern Java, Indonesia. What sets this tiny hamlet apart is the unusually high number of people with mental and physical disabilities - nearly a quarter. That's four times the national average. Life is tough for them, but Eko has taken it upon himself to do something to help. Candida Beveridge went to meet him for Outlook. Please note that some may find parts of her report distressing.
