From the majestic Himalayan range to the lowland Terai region, Nepal is a country of stunning beauty. Tragically, poverty is widespread with 25% of the population living on less than $0.50 per day. Dependent on agriculture for survival, entire families work daily in the fields. In this environment, a child with a physical disability faces enormous challenges.

The Hospital & Rehabilitation Center for Disabled Children serves the poorest disabled children throughout Nepal. Our hospital in Banepa offers world-class surgical interventions, rehabilitation, education at our HRDC school, and training for medical personnel. In the field our five satellite centers serve as hubs for mobile medical camps and home visits.

In Nepal disability is viewed as a curse, and poor disabled children are often kept isolated at home – away from prying eyes. Our 52 Community Based Rehabilitation workers are key to finding these children. With strong community ties, they identify children in remote corners of Nepal who need our help.
