  • CAPTION: Dr Ram and his colleagues are forming what they call a 'chain of information', so that even if families don’t allow their youth to seek out the services they need in person, friends can pass on the news about what the ARSH clinic can provide. He observes that another problem is that most families think only of educating their boys on what they need, and just think about marrying their girls off. So it’s important to ensure that girls don’t fall through the net. These four girls are part of the discussion group that’s been established in Ghatshila. They have asked Dr Ram to come to the community college where they are studying nearby and take sessions for all the adolescent girls there to ensure they will then access the services they need. They therefore serve as the link between the college and Dr Ram. LOCATION: Adolescent Reproductive and Sexual Health (ARSH) clinic, Ghatshila Community Health Centre (CHC), Purbi Singhbhum (district), Jharkhand (state), India. INDIVIDUAL(S) PHOTOGRAPHED: From left to right: Tulika Shit, Sujata Shit, Rakhi Shit and Atosi Shit.

  • CAPTION: For many years, Mantesh - who has a learning disability - would hardly communicate with other children or even with his parents. His mother Roopa supports him with his Individual Education Plan (IEP), which includes his attendance at his local After-School Club (ASC). This is very important in developing his self-belief. Just ensuring he attends regularly is a challenge, so it helps if his mother drops him there directly herself, and then meets him once the session is over. LOCATION: Mallianpura (village), Kasaba (hobli), Chamrajnagar (district), Karnataka (state), India. INDIVIDUAL(S) PHOTOGRAPHED: Roopa (left) and Mantesh (right).

  • CAPTION: All schools in Kasaba hobli have ramps for wheelchair users, though few were built for the benefit of disabled students; rather, they were put in place for election purposes, to enable disabled voters to attend polling booths during elections. Many, like this one, lie unused and in deteriorating conditions where there may not even be any wheelchair users. Meanwhile, other aspects of school accessibility - such as signs with text that's too small for the visually impaired - go unaddressed. The Chamkol programme therefore provides for School Inclusion Audits and Plans to be carried out by Pupils' Clubs with a view to correcting these flaws. LOCATION: Budhitittu (village), Kasaba (hobli), Chamrajnagar (district), Karnataka (state), India. INDIVIDUAL(S) PHOTOGRAPHED: From left to right: Sanjana (above), Pradeep S. (below), Rajeshwari R., Kavya R.S., Nagendra and Rajesh.

  • CAPTION: The Chamkol programme supports the government's response to the health and wellbeing of individuals with or at disk of disability.

LOCATION: Badanaguppe (village), Kasaba (hobli), Chamrajnagar (district), Karnataka (state), India. INDIVIDUAL(S) PHOTOGRAPHED: Kumara Naika (man), Govinda K. (disabled boy) and Puttbassamma (woman).

  • CAPTION: Manju's son Sagar was born with clubfoot and hands. Thanks to timely interventions, he has been making great progress. During the earliest days following the birth of a child who has (or develops) a disability, parents often struggle to work out what best they can do for him or her, and could use more information and firmer direction. Under the Chamkol programme, such children aged between zero and five and their mothers, expectant mothers and women of child-bearing age will be able to get this through health, wellbeing, development and pre-school programmes run through Early Years' Clubs. LOCATION: Melagipura (village), Kasaba (hobli), Chamrajnagar (district), Karnataka (state), India. INDIVIDUAL(S) PHOTOGRAPHED: From left to right: Pushpalata, Santosh, Sagar, Manju and Chenajamma.

  • CAPTION: Shesh Naik has multiple disabilities, including cerebral palsy. His only mobility comes through wheelchair use, and he's totally dependent on family members to wheel him around. He still needs a ramp to be constructed, so that they will be able to get him into and out of the family home. LOCATION: Amchawadi (village), Haradanahalli (hobli), Chamrajnagar (district), Karnataka (state), India. INDIVIDUAL(S) PHOTOGRAPHED: From left to right: Padma, Shesh Naik, Raghu and Latha.
