To our incredible Seeing Hands Nepal family,

Words feel small compared to the gratitude we hold in our hearts.

Over the past few weeks, we’ve witnessed something truly beautiful—our team coming together with unwavering dedication, pouring their hearts and souls into one mission: to help our founder, Mr. Chiranjivi Paudel, shine on the global stage through the World Blind Idol 2025.

You’ve worked day and night—reaching out to communities, knocking on doors, making countless calls, and spreading the message with love, hope, and pride. Not just for one person, but for a bigger dream—to let the world see what Nepal is capable of, and how far we’ve come when we stand united.

This is more than just a competition. This is our story. A story of resilience, inclusion, and belief.

No matter the result, we’ve already won because of you.
Thank you for being the heart of this movement.

Let’s keep going, let’s keep shining—for Chiran, for Nepal, for us all. 🇳🇵

Seeing Hands

Seeing Hands is a social enterprise providing training and employment opportunities in massage therapy for visually impaired people. We operate 4 massage clinics across Nepal, each employing teams of professionally-trained blind therapists who provide massage to visiting guests. Part of the fees they earn are used to fund the training and employment of more blind masseurs so the organisation can grow and develop. Over 25 blind individuals have now benefited, and our professional sports-style massage services are well reputed, with excellent ratings on Tripadvisor and in guidebooks. Seeing Hands was set up in 2005 as a UK-registered charity [No. 1120429] by British founders Rob and Susan Ainley, with funding from private donors, charitable trusts, and companies. The project began with a small massage training programme, initially with just four blind students. Their training course, following UK standards, was rigorous and delivered over 18 months by a team of experienced volunteer massage tutors. With support from local hotelier Kul Bahadur Acharya, the first Seeing Hands Clinic was officially established in Pokhara, and the qualified students began working as sports massage therapists, treating tired trekkers and visiting tourists. Over the next few years, more students were trained and in 2010 Seeing Hands opened a 2nd clinic in Thamel to provide more jobs for a growing team of massage therapists. The goal; to create a self-sustaining social enterprise that could be run by the blind, for the blind, has now been achieved. Today the organisation is running independently, with very minimal support from international founders, charity members and volunteers. Since operations were localised, with support from Change Fusion, the team has successfully opened a third clinic in Patan and fourth at Boudha. Leading these activities is ChiranJeevi Poudel, one of the very first blind students to be trained, who has independently managed operations in Kathmandu for the past 6 years, and in 2013 received the Surya Nepal Asha Award for Social Entrepreneurship.
