Nepal Association for the Welfare of the Blind (NAWB) operates a range of programs designed to address the diverse needs of visually impaired individuals across Nepal. Our initiatives span from community-based support to specialized interventions in education, disaster preparedness, and health.
Each program is designed to address specific challenges faced by visually impaired people in Nepal, thereby contributing to our overall mission of empowerment and inclusion. Here’s an overview of our key programs:
Community-Based Rehabilitation (CBR)
Our CBR program provides essential services directly to visually impaired people in their communities. This program, which operates in 14 districts, serves as the foundation for our grassroots efforts.

Disaster Risk Reduction (DIDRR) Program
In a country prone to natural disasters, our DIDRR program ensures that visually impaired individuals are included in disaster preparedness and response plans.
Sexual Reproductive Health and Rights (SRHR) Program
This program addresses the unique challenges faced by visually impaired individuals, particularly women and girls, in accessing information and services related to sexual and reproductive health.
