Upcoming Projects
The main programme of PNL is the rehabilitation of physical disability. Since there are more than 10% of the estimated disabled among the population of Nepal, the estimated physically disabled people are more or less 5%. Since the people are mostly poor or the poor knowledge of resource or ignorant of the therapies, many disabled children and people are forced to stay at home with disabilities. Our effort to provide services to more disabled people; we are conducting, home visit services, camps and counselling centers in many villages. Among the people of hill and plain land origin, the people of Terai (plain land) are backward economically as well as socially. Naturally the people of Terai (plain land) suffer the backwardness and so do they suffer from the disability. The prevention is better than rehabilitation; therefore PNL is also focusing on the prevention of the disabilities and leprosy.
We are very happy to work with community.
We incourage new ideas that will benefit all.
We care the locality and community a lot.
