Mohua Paul

Center for the Rehabilitation of the Paralyzed (CRP)

Mohua Paul (born 1961) was only 12 years old when she was afflicted with lower limb paralysis. A chance visit to the Center for the Rehabilitation of the Paralyzed (CRP) gave her life a new direction. Among Mohua's many contributions to the growth of the CRP is the Women's Center, which provides shelter to women with disabilities who have no home; it also has a program that trains mothers in providing basic treatment to their children with disabilities.
