Karuna Foundation Nepal

Karuna Foundation Nepal 🔹Saving Children from Disability, One by One Besides, Karuna wants to improve the quality of life of children with a disability and their families.

Karuna Foundation is a young and dynamic entrepreneurial development organization, founded in 2007, with an office in Arnhem and in her project area, Nepal. Karuna Foundation strives to decrease the number of birth defects and disabilities among children in developing countries, by improving existing health systems and empowering poor communities and vulnerable groups within these communities, such as children with a disability, mothers and newborns, to develop their capacity to claim their right to healthcare. Each child born healthy and each child that grows up healthy is one. They are our source of inspiration and motivation. We aim to achieve our objectives through
- empowerment of the population by introducing a cooperative community-based health care system (Share&Care), including referral to specialized care.
- prevention of disabilities through awareness, training, behaviour change and improved health services.
- Treatment and care for children with a disability and their families within local context and possiblities.

Four impactful days of capacity building were successfully conducted, focusing on strengthening care at home through knowledge and practical skills. The 2-day Caretaker Training brought together 30 participants, focusing on care for individuals with stroke, spinal cord injury, and cerebral palsy. The sessions covered essential areas including self-care and hygiene, proper positioning, wheelchair use, and simple exercises that can be safely practiced at home, empowering caregivers to support daily living with confidence.

This was followed by a 2-day Autism Training in Panchkhal, designed specifically for parents and caregivers. With 14 participants currently residing in Panchkhal, the training aimed to build a deeper understanding of autism and emphasized practical, home-based techniques. As autism requires continuous care and consistent practice, the sessions highlighted the crucial role of loved ones in a child’s development and well-being.

Three-year-old Sakshi from Duhabi Municipality was diagnosed with Cerebral Palsy (CP) during a disability assessment camp organized by the municipality. At the time, she could sit on her own but standing and walking felt like a distant dream.

With continuous physiotherapy, regular exercises, and support from a standing frame, Sakshi began taking small but powerful steps forward. Today, she can stand with minimal support and even walk a little.

Her determination, paired with her family’s unwavering support, is opening new doors. The next milestone? Admission to a nearby school, where Sakshi’s journey of learning and growing will continue.

Because with the right support, every small step can lead to a big future.
