More than 13,500 people have been infected with Covid-19 in Nepal and the epidemic shows no signs of slowing down. Humanity & Inclusion (HI) continues to provide rehabilitation care to people who need it, including in seven rehabilitation centres in some of the areas worst hit by the 2015 earthquake.
Hulsha, an HI physiotherapist, has provided rehabilitation care throughout the epidemic. She also writes a blog in Nepali to help people stay in shape during the lockdown and gives advice regularly on the radio.
Two years ago, 30-year-old Akshya was injured in a car accident and required surgery. Since then, he has attended regular rehabilitation sessions with HI’s physiotherapist, Rajina.
"Even during the lockdown, we ran rehabilitation sessions, with hygiene measures in place, and gave advice over the phone and internet (Whatsapp). I was also glad to continue working during the epidemic,”
explains Rajina.
Because of an untreated fracture, Promise lived through years of pain. Thanks to Humanity & Inclusion, he can now go to school and play with the other children.
Gabriel had long dreamt of going to school in the refugee settlement where he lives. Today, HI’s rehabilitation and inclusion teams have helped make his dream come true.
As humanitarian needs increase, public funding for international aid is decreasing. HI is committed to supporting vulnerable populations and providing assistance to those who need it most.
