Volunteer NEPAL Kathmandu Orphanage Children Care and Disability Center

Save to Favorites

Centre for Disabilities Special Education - Most of the disabled individuals in Nepal are ignored, neglected and forced to live in dark rooms because most of the family members of disabled individuals feel shame at having lost their prestige due to them in the community. As a result, they die in the same room or bed where they were born. Some of their family members may also make them beg on the streets. In these ways, the individuals are losing their human rights.

Volunteer World Nepal offers interested volunteers from all over the world a chance to provide great support to disabled children in Nepal. VWN has established daycare facilities in Kathmandu Valley. Volunteers stay with a local family while spending 6 hours a day at the facility.
