also be made accessible for the amputees either by building ramps, lifts or escalators to enable them to visit places ofentertainment or enter the workplace, TRANSPORT Public transport specially designed for the disabled should be available in all communities, for instance, buses that have wide passages and space for wheelchairs. This would be comfortable for the amputees unlike ordinary buses and taxis where clients would be off­ loaded from their wheelchairs into transport seats and wheelchair folded to the side. This involves strenuous physical effort and manpower. The Department of Transport should be involved in this strategy. 6.5.4.8 EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITIES FOR THE AMPUTEES The fact that the majority of the amputees were unemployed, is a fundamental problem affecting not only the amputees but also their families as the majority were breadwinners. It is recommended that the govermnent devise a strategy to reinforce protection of disabled persons against unfair discrimination on the basis oftheir disability for working in the open labour market CONCLUSION This study succeeded in evaluating community based rehabilitation. The findings show that there were inadequate community rehabilitation services available in government hospitals and rehabilitation team members which were necessary for physical, psychosocial and vocational rehabilitation were also inadequate. Rehabilitation adjustments were similarly found to be inadequate. The recommendations have made it evident that without community based rehabilitation; the amputees' adjustment to change in body image and adaptation to the environment would be unsuccessful. This proves that the researcher's assumption was correct Limitations and recommendations for further study were made based on the problems experienced during the study. 106
