Shanti was born into suffering. Her legs were bent painfully backwards and, as she grew, she couldn't walk upright. With great determination, she crawled to school every day. No one in her village in rural Nepal thought there was any help for Shanti—until our partners at the Hospital and Rehabilitation Center for Disabled Children found her.

Shanti's surgery literally transformed her life. And hers is just one of the 1,800 operations done each year by the hospital's dedicated team. Altogether, 75,000 children in dire need have been healed by their expert care.
Just $150 provides surgery for a disabled child that changes their life. That’s a single doctor visit here, but to a struggling family in Nepal, it’s a fortune that is completely beyond their means.
Today, Shanti walks to school and can kick a soccer ball. She can look friends in the eye and she smiles, a lot. For her, and for all the children who have a different, better future because of you and your kindness, we cannot thank you enough.
