Disabled School Association

A truly inspirational residential school for children with disabilities in Kathmandu. The fundamental objective of Disabled Service Association Nepal (DSA Nepal) is to empower children with disability by providing them with their basic requirements – food and shelter, education, physiotherapy and health care based on their needs.

DSA implements a fully comprehensive set of educational activities for their students, and lots of fun stuff too.

Driftwood began funding DSA in 2018, purchasing a number of musical instruments and sensory games for the recreation room of the school.

In 2019, Driftwood supported the upgrade of the school’s computer room facilities and paid salaries for two specially trained teachers for deaf and blind children.

In 2020 and 2021, Driftwood funded a new gymnasium for the children with the support of our donors as well as a full set of school uniforms.

In 2022, Driftwood donations raised sufficient funds to renovate all of the children’s living quarters with new bedding, and bright paint for the walls.

And in 2023, we funded the renovation and refurbishment of the school’s kitchen, so it is now well equipped to feed the 50+ young residents.

In 2024, Driftwood purchased a number of braille laptops for the benefit of the many blind and visually impaired children.

In 2025 we are looking to raise funds to buy a series of talking scientific calculators for the visually impaired children.

A little goes a long way in DSA, so all donations will have a positive impact on the lives of these inspirational young people.
