Established in 2002, the Disabled Rehabilitation Centre (DRC) Nepal is a non-profit, non-governmental organization (NGO) founded by a group of individuals, many of whom live with physical disabilities themselves. DRC is officially registered with the Chief District Office in Kathmandu and is affiliated with the Social Welfare Council under Nepal’s Ministry of Social Welfare.
Currently, DRC provides a safe and supportive home for 25 children, ensuring access to education, healthcare, daily physiotherapy, and a nurturing, family-like environment. The children include 19 with physical disabilities and 6 from underprivileged backgrounds. By bringing together children from diverse circumstances, DRC promotes inclusion, compassion, and shared growth.

All children at DRC attend school—most in private schools, with a few in government schools for special needs. DRC supports them through grade 10 and continues guidance afterward to help them pursue higher studies or vocational opportunities.
Children receive daily physiotherapy sessions to strengthen muscles and improve mobility. DRC also covers any medical treatments needed, ensuring every child remains healthy and cared for.
Saturdays are dedicated to fun and recreation—games, art, dance, outings to nearby forests, and swimming, which allows children to move freely and enjoy themselves beyond their disabilities.
The care house includes 10 sleeping rooms (wheelchair accessible downstairs), a kitchen and dining space for 30 people, a computer room with 6 computers, a homework area, a medical/physio room, and an office. Upstairs, 15 sewing machines support a vocational sewing project.
