Despite these challenges, Manisha’s determination to study never wavered. She wanted to pursue a career where she could make a difference, but opportunities were limited.
Manisha was born with a visual impairment in a rural village in Nepal. Education was always a struggle. Schools lacked accessible learning materials, and teachers often did not know how to support her needs. Despite these challenges, Manisha’s determination to study never wavered. She wanted to pursue a career where she could make a difference, but opportunities were limited.
When Manisha connected with NDWA, her world opened up. She joined vocational training programs where she learned braille typing, office management, and advocacy skills. She also attended awareness sessions about her rights and how to navigate workplace challenges. The training not only improved her practical skills but also strengthened her confidence and self-belief.
After completing the programs, Manisha secured a job at a local NGO. She became a role model for women with disabilities, showing that obstacles could be overcome with knowledge, training, and determination. Beyond her work, she actively participates in advocacy campaigns, promoting inclusive education and employment policies.
When people believe in you, you start believing in yourself. – Manisha
