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.

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.

In the presence of the Chief Guest, Hon. Ram Prasad Mahato, Minister for Social Development, Koshi Province and joined by Municipality Mayors and Deputy Mayors, a meaningful milestone was created for children who needed it most. 37 children received wheelchairs, each one carefully provided to support safer, easier, and more confident mobility. For these children, a wheelchair represents more than support, it represents the ability to move independently, to participate, and to experience daily life with dignity. The smiles, quiet excitement, and sense of relief from families spoke louder than words.

The Wheelchair Assessment, Measurement, Fitment, and Distribution Program was successfully organized under Disability Prevention and Rehabilitation Program (DPRP) with the support of Wheelchairs for Kids Australia.

At ward No. 8, Inaruwa, women from the community gathered to learn, ask questions, and take time for their health through a Cervical Cancer Screening camp. With a focus on early detection, awareness, and prevention, the camp created a supportive space where conversations around cervical health were encouraged. More than a medical service, it was a reminder that timely screening and informed choices can save lives.

Sometimes, meaningful change begins with a simple step.
