Sobita is a skilled tailor and carer for her daughter Sophie, who was diagnosed with muscular dystrophy type 2 as a baby. A neighbour informed Sobita about Womankind partner Nepal Disabled Women’s Association (NDWA) so she joined a group for parents of children with disabilities. NDWA provided Sobita with guidance along with resources like a wheelchair and seed money to invest in her shop.
““In Nepal, children with disabilities are not treated as human beings… [NDWA] show that they care, they call and ask what we need… [NDWA] has changed my life a lot.”
