🔹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, suc

h 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.

🔹We are happy to share the successful completion of District Annual Review meetings in Solukhumbu, Khotang, Okhaldhunga, Udayapur, Jhapa, Terathum, and Taplejung on different dates. It was truly inspiring to see active and enthusiastic participation from the Chief of District Coordination Committees, Representatives from MoSD, Chief Administration Officers, Deputy Mayors, Palika Focal Persons, OPD members, and representatives of NFD-N and other organizations. What stood out most was how participants embraced the Disability Prevention and Rehabilitation Program (DPRP) as their own, sharing valuable insights, experiences, and a shared commitment to making it stronger in their respective districts. Moments like these reaffirm the power of collaboration in driving sustainable change.

This marks the start of a long-term collaboration between Karuna Foundation Nepal and Vertex, rooted in empowerment, dignity, and sustainable inclusion. Karuna Foundation Nepal is focusing on ensuring a dignified life for persons with disabilities by supporting their entry into the job market and livelihood opportunities - one by one.

Hon. Social Development Minister of Karnali Province, Mr. Ghanshyam Bhandari, and Hon. Member of Parliament, Ms. Sita Kumari Rana, held a joint meeting with Hon. Minister of Women, Children and Senior Citizens (MoWCSC), Mr. Nawal Kishor Sah Sudi, and Secretary Ms. Laxmi Basnet in Kathmandu.

Both leaders strongly advocated for increased federal budget support for the DPRP program, emphasizing its impact and importance for persons with disabilities.

Hon. Federal Minister Sah Sudi appreciated the program, saying:

“त्यो कार्यक्रम मैले हेरेको छु, धेरै राम्रो छ। तपाईंहरूले पनि राम्रोसँग गर्नु पर्छ।”
(“I have seen the program myself, it’s excellent. You must continue delivering it well.”)

Hon. Minister Bhandari highlighted that although Karnali has already begun implementing DPRP, the lack of adequate budget has posed challenges, “We’re doing our best at the province level, but we need stronger financial backing from the federal government.”

The meeting concluded that continued collaboration between federal, provincial, and local governments, along with development partners, is key to realizing the full potential of DPRP for the well-being of persons with disabilities.

Following the meeting, Hon. Minister Bhandari also visited the Karuna Foundation Nepal Office in Kathmandu and held discussions with Executive Director Mr. Deepak Raj Sapkota to explore mutual collaboration for improving the quality of life of persons with disabilities in Karnali Province.

Karuna Foundation Nepal extends heartfelt gratitude to the Rotary Club of Kathmandu Metro and Rotary Club of Patan Durbar Square for their generous support in providing 27 wheelchairs for children and adults with disabilities. This meaningful contribution reflects a shared commitment to creating a more inclusive and accessible society. For persons with disabilities, mobility is not merely about physical movement, it is about reclaiming independence, restoring dignity, and opening up opportunities for education, employment, healthcare, and full participation in community life. With these wheelchairs, recipients will be better equipped to move freely, engage actively in their daily routines, and experience a renewed sense of freedom and self-worth. Karuna Foundation Nepal is proud to collaborate with partners who believe in equal rights and opportunities for all.

🔹 At just three months old, Chapeti Chemjung suffered a severe leg burn that changed the course of her life. For years, she relied on a bamboo stick as a makeshift limb, painfully walking short distances and struggling with daily tasks like cooking or fetching water.

However recently, through the Disability Prevention and Rehabilitation Program, Chapeti received a lower limb prosthesis during a camp organized by the Rotary Club of Birtamode and Madwadi Sewa Sadan, Gaushala. Along with the prosthesis, she was also given gait training to help her walk with confidence.

Today, Chapeti walks more freely, travels longer distances, and moves through her day with renewed ease and dignity.

🔹In Kepilashgadhi Rural Municipality, Khotang, seven individuals with disabilities who successfully completed tailoring and cutting training were supported with sewing machines as part of a startup initiative. This small yet significant step aims to empower them to start their own livelihoods, gain financial independence, and live with dignity.

These machines are more than just tools, they represent confidence, skill, and the belief that everyone deserves the opportunity to thrive. With each stitch, they are weaving a future filled with hope, self-reliance, and strength.
