The Disabled Rehabilitation Centre Nepal (DRC) was founded to provide care, education, and vocational training for disabled women and underprivileged children. It began with a mission to transform lives through rehabilitation, skill development, and a nurturing environment. Over the years, DRC has grown into a comprehensive center, supporting both children and women with disabilities and empowering them to lead independent and meaningful lives.

2004 – The Beginning: Mangali Gurung from Keronja suffered a severe foot infection that required amputation. With no resources, she traveled to Kathmandu for treatment and stayed at a home for disabled women to learn skills and adapt to an artificial leg.

2005 – Vision for a Center: Recognizing the need for proper accommodation and training for disabled women, plans were made to build a new facility.

2006 – Building Opened: With €70,000 raised together with Dutch NGO Wilde Ganzen, the new center opened, providing training in knitting, sewing, and computer skills. Mangali now teaches knitting and helps in the kitchen.

2007 – Expansion for Children: The facility expanded to accommodate 55 children from DRC, offering lodging, education, and vocational training. Computers and sewing machines were added to support ongoing skill development.

Today: DRC continues empowering disabled women and children, combining care, education, and vocational training under one roof.
