About Madhu
Chulanga Madhubashini (Madhu) is a project officer for the Sri Lanka project to achieve economic self-sustainability for People with Disabilities through inclusion and mainstreaming with employers.

Madhu is the project officer responsible for conducting and reporting on physical accessibility audits for facilities of businesses, training schemes and lending organisations in Sri Lanka. Although she is responsible for accessibility audits, her main focus is the creation of awareness and delivery of disability inclusion, disability etiquette and disability sensitisation training. She is a charismatic speaker and has a great talent for training and mentoring. She has appeared on TV talk shows and has spoken widely on disability inclusion on the Sri Lankan national radio promoting the programme.

Madhu hopes to be one of the people attending a course to train all the government Career Guidance Officers to include disabled people in their future training programmes.
