Our special needs project has been conceptualized to support the people living with a disability. According to the 2011 census, 1.98% of the population are disabled. In Nepal, it is commonly thought that a disability is a result of the sins of one’s past lives and people often hide their disability due to the numerous of social-cultural norms, values, and societal pressure. The special needs project is an attempt to empower the people living with a disability and make self independent.
The objectives of the project include:
- Support to the children with disability in Education and Life skills development
- Providing skills-based training for adult wheelchair users for their self-dependence
- Organize motivational training to empowering communities with disabilities
- Conduct research and advocate with line agencies for rights and protection
