The Hope Disability Centre Nepal.

 You can see what a remote area it is, which is why MEND has chosen it. There are few options for the disabled who live in such remote areas. 

 Hope Disability Centre Nepal has its own website: http://www.hopegulmi.tk/

And they published a newsletter in October 2008. Click this link to see it:
