What we do
Advocacy and Awareness
- Every week, we broadcast ‘Disability Voice’ a radio program that specifically deals with disability issues. Broadcast through Radio Nepal, it reaches 3 million people throughout the country who might not otherwise hear anything about disability.
- Every month we publish and distribute 4,000 copies of 'Disability Voice', a self-financing journal that brings all the latest news and views on disability.
- We work hard to influence and inform people through Media Campaigns that drive home the fact that disabled people have rights too.
- We give disabled people a voice at Government, District and local level by advocating for their rights.
- We run workshops and interaction programs to keep disabled people informed of the issues
Trainings
- We run training and development programs on human rights, law, leadership and advocacy skills for Disabled People’s Organisations and disabled people
