Karuna Foundation Nepal works to prevent avoidable disabilities among children and adults and improve the quality of life of persons with disabilities and their families by strengthening government health systems and empowering families and communities. The organization promotes inclusive, community-based approaches that ensure access to quality healthcare, rehabilitation, and social inclusion.
Following the devastating earthquake of 25 April 2015, Karuna Foundation Nepal also played an active role in disability-inclusive disaster response, recovery, and rehabilitation, ensuring that persons with disabilities and other vulnerable populations were meaningfully included in humanitarian and reconstruction efforts through a holistic and inclusive approach.
