KATHMANDU, Feb 1: The Embassy of Japan handed over a rehabilitation center for women with disabilities to the Nepal Disabled Women Association in Budhanilkantha Municipality.

The total grant assistance was USD 89,236 (Rs 9.17 million). The embassy said it hopes that the rehabilitation center will be effectively used for women with disabilities and that the support will contribute toward assisting women to become self-reliant.
The Nepal Disabled Women Association used to run a rehabilitation center in rented accommodation and the financial obligations arising from this made it difficult to respond to the increasing demand for services for women with disabilities.
