INTRODUCTION:

National Disabled and Helpless Upliftment Association:

NDHUA is a non-profitable, non-political, non-governmental organization established in 2052 B.S. (1995 AD) by a group of highly committed disabled and helpless people. This organization is registered under the Government of Nepal. Its registration number is 440/2052 (Distric Administrative Office), 3645 (SWC) and pan number 311792884. The executive committee members of NDHUA are a group of disabled people who come from different sectors.

Geographically, Nepal is a mountainous country. Due to the poor, social and economic condition, Nepal is lagging behind in educational and other levels. Disabled and helpless people are living very critical and difficult life in our society. Our society still views disability as a menace or the sins committed in the previous birth. The notion that people with disabilities have equal rights and duty as any other individual is largely absent form the popular mindset. So the people with disabilities are treated as an object of pity and charity. They have to face lots of difficulties to live with self-respect in the community.

The conservative society, illiteracy, abject poverty, unemployment and limited government programs have debarred them from exercising their fundamental human rights. As National Statistics shows, most of them still remain unaffected by the policies and laws of the government.

NDHUA is an NGO mainly working with and for the disabled and helpless people who are from poor economical background and live in remote areas.
