Disability Project Nepal

Namaste and warm greetings,

Since January 2024, we have been visiting families in small villages of Mahadewa Rural Municipality of Saptari district to find out how many disabled people are actually there, in what situation they are living in and telling them about our organisation. We have visited 650 families in three small villages and met 19 people who are disabled as per our definition.

All the 19 disabled person are living in very poor condition and are depending on their relatives. They barely go out of their home as they do not have a suitable transport. Their relatives believe that the disabled person has been cursed and there is nothing we can do to help. We explained to them about major causes of disability and if it gets cured in time and appropriate health care then their life can be better.

We also shared with the families that we have set up an organisation that will work in these villages for the welfare of disabled people, and requested to participate in our coming meetings and gatherings which will provide many helpful information and meet likeminded people.

We will continue to visit more families in the remaining villages to identify disabled person and bring them in to our network. There are fourteen small villages in the Municipality. Please support us to do more in what ever way it is possible.
