African attitude to disablility

In our world, any form of disability is often seen as a consequence of an action done in the past by the individual or their family. The stigma associated with disability make the family member end up hiding the person or in worse cases, the family members virtually abandon the person that needs their help the most. Like coping with disability isn't hard enough, the isolation can outrightly drive them mad and they end up on the streets tagged 'madman or madwoman'

Should they be loved any less for a situation they'd rather not be in?
