🌟 Success Story – Sanjay Tamang: A Journey of Determination and Independence 🌟

Meet Sanjaya Tamang, a 28-year-old youth from Dhading District, currently living in Tachal, Kathmandu. Sanjay lives with a physical disability - he has a double amputation in his legs and limited functionality in both hands. But despite these challenges, his determination has always been stronger than any barrier.

ADSoN supported Sanjay up to +2 level education and seeing his not satisfactory academic performance, we encouraged him to find other options or join a vocational training program that would help him build an independent future. Based on his interest and passion for creativity, Sanjay chose to pursue a 6-month Graphic Motion Design training course.

After a thorough assessment, ADSoN enrolled him at Idream Animation Studio. We stayed in regular contact with the institution and his instructors consistently praised his progress -highlighting his willingness to learn, timely submission of assignments and his commitment to excellence.

To further support his learning journey, ADSoN provided Sanjay with a laptop, enabling him to complete and submit his assignments on time. Sanjaya even wrote a heartfelt thank-you letter to our funding partner, expressing his gratitude for the opportunity to chase his dreams.

Today, Sanjay is proudly working at Alpinist Studio, Manbhawan, Lalitpur as a Junior Graphic Animator. He is happy, confident and satisfied with his new role - turning his passion into a profession.

Sanjay’s story reminds us that ability shines through when opportunity, support and determination come together. ADSoN is committed to empowering more youths like him to build brighter, independent futures.

🌟 Empowering Persons with Disabilities through Pickle Making & Financial Literacy 🌟

"Equal rights, equal opportunities – for all."

The Rotary Club of Hetauda has launched a 10-day Pickle Production & Financial Literacy Empowerment Training for Persons with Disabilities (PwDs). The training began on 29th August 2025 at the Rural Women Service Center, Bherab Road, Hetauda, with trainer Ms. Suchana Parajuli leading the sessions.

👉 Participants are learning:
✅ Pickle production technology, hygiene, and quality standards
✅ Packaging, branding & market strategies
✅ Financial literacy – banking, savings, investments, debt management & record-keeping

The program was inaugurated by Ms. Mina Lama, Mayor of Hetauda Sub-Metropolitan City, who encouraged participants to embrace entrepreneurship for financial independence and sustainable livelihoods.

This initiative is designed to empower PwDs to earn income from home, boost their confidence, and gain a respected place in society. By combining practical skills with financial knowledge, this program shifts the perspective of PwDs from “needing help” to “demonstrating ability.” 🌍💪

🤝 Organized by: Rotary Club of Hetauda (RCH)
✨ In collaboration with: Ability Development Society of Nepal (ADSoN), The Rose International Fund for Children (TRIFC), and Rotary Club of Patan (RCP-KPAD).
