SI ASHA FOUNDATION
Creating Hope Through Action and Love
Si Asha Foundation supports children and young people with intellectual and developmental disabilities in Nepal so they can learn, grow and live with dignity. We provide special education, therapy and daily care — because every child deserves a place in society.
Why this work matters
The Reality in Nepal
In Nepal, specialised services are still limited and often concentrated in major cities, making access difficult for many families across the country. As a result, children with intellectual and developmental disabilities often grow up at home, without access to education, therapy or support.
Si Asha Foundation exists to bring services closer and make access possible.
Lives reached every day
Our Impact
Behind every number, there is a life. Behind every service, a future is being built.

Where We Work
Nepal's geography should not decide a child's future. Our vision is to expand province by province, building a network of special education schools so families do not have to travel long distances to find support — and no child is left without education or therapy.
