🔹This World Down Syndrome Day, we share Trisha’s story, a six-year-old girl born with Down syndrome, whose early days were marked by frequent falls and limited mobility due to a patellar dislocation. Walking was uncertain, and with every fall, her confidence quietly faded. With timely support through the Disability Prevention and Rehabilitation Program (DPRP), Trisha was referred for corrective surgery at HRDC, Banepa. That moment became a turning point.

Today, Trisha walks with confidence. She attends school in Kamal, learns, plays, and embraces her childhood with joy and growing independence while living with her grandparents. Her journey is a gentle reminder that when children are given the right care and opportunities, they don’t just overcome challenges, they flourish.

Because every child deserves not just support, but the chance to thrive.
