Our Identity
Who We Are & What Drives Us
Disability Nepal is an online knowledge centre that brings together knowledge, information, policies, laws, and practices for disability-inclusive development into one accessible digital space.
Supported by community partners, rights advocates, and government stakeholders, we work to dismantle barriers to information. We believe that knowledge is the foundation of empowerment, autonomy, and social justice.
Access to information is not a privilege — it is a fundamental human right essential to autonomy, equality, and civic participation.
Our Mission
To provide inclusive, accessible, and reliable digital access to disability rights laws, public services, educational materials, and inspiring stories from Nepal and globally.
Our Vision
A just society where every person with a disability enjoys equal rights, non-discrimination, and full, barrier-free access to knowledge, opportunity, and community life.
Guiding Principles
What Drives Our Work
Four fundamental values anchor our repository, advocacy, and community outreach.
Inclusiveness
Serving persons with physical, sensory, psychosocial, and intellectual disabilities across all seven provinces of Nepal without discrimination.
Universal Accessibility
Designing digital resources compliant with WCAG 2.1 Level AA standards, accessible screen-reader formats, tactile documents, and sign language media.
Rights & Empowerment
Advancing constitutional guarantees, the UN CRPD, and domestic statutory rights so individuals can advocate effectively for their entitlements.
Community Partnership
Working directly alongside self-advocacy groups, grassroots OPDs, educators, and legal experts to maintain an authentic, reliable knowledge hub.
The People Behind Disability Nepal
Our Leadership & Knowledge Team
Experienced advocates, researchers, accessibility specialists, and technology officers.
