This article explores a spirituality of disability as a participatory strategy for equalizing opportunities for women with disability's development. Qualitative research was utilized for a participatory action research study with women with disabilities over a two year period, which consisted of four phases. The collaborative study took place in informal settlements in the peri-urban outskirts of a Metropole in Western Cape Province of South Africa with a primary health care NGO and the Disabled WOmen’s Development Programme of Disabled People South Africa. Convenience sampling was used by the community rehabilitation workers to identify women for phase one of the study. A total of 180 women with disabilities participated in subsequent phases through snowballing. A theme that emerged from the action learning cycles of women was a spirituality of disability, as a two-fold process of healing that lead to a renewed sense of agency and social belonging. Participation also restored hope, which enabled women to discover new choices for economic and political inclusion. A spirituality of disability was found to be integral in addressing the inequities in social, economic and political development that women with disability experienced. The implications for rehabilitation practice and community-based inclusive development are demonstrated in the values of interdependence and reciprocal relationships. An awareness of a spirituality of disability may enable connections between the women, services providers and disabled peoples’ organizations to remove environmental barriers to participation at an individual, family and community level.
