The mission of SGCP Nepal is to enhance the quality of life for children and adults with cerebral palsy and neurological conditions, and to promote their independence, self-sufficiency, and full citizenship in the community through a range of comprehensive support and services. We also support carers through empowerment, health, and livelihood programs.
SGCP Nepal is dedicated to improving the lives of individuals with cerebral palsy through comprehensive services. Our core programs include medical rehabilitation, special education, community outreach, and caregiver support. The Cerebral Palsy Rehabilitation Centre (CPRC) provides essential medical assessments, therapeutic interventions, and caregiver training. The Special Education Programme (SEP) offers tailored education and skill-building for children and young adults, while our Outreach Programmes bring rehabilitation services directly to homes across 19 districts. Day Care Centers (DCCs) offer daily care and education for children with neurological conditions. We also provide intensive residential programs through the Phulbari initiative, and our Care for Carers Programme ensures caregivers receive the support they need. Additionally, the SewaMa Helpline offers free counseling and assistance for families affected by cerebral palsy.
Cerebral Palsy Rehabilitation Centre (CPRC)
The Cerebral Palsy Rehabilitation Center (CPRC) at SGCP offers comprehensive care for children with cerebral palsy, including medical assessments, physiotherapy, occupational and speech therapy, psychological counseling, and specialized seizure management. The center provides EEG services, seizure medications, and custom technical aids. Caregivers receive training for home-based rehabilitation, and mobile health camps extend services to underserved areas. CPRC operates Monday to Friday, 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM, with transportation services available.
Special Education Program (SEP)
Launched in 1993, SEP provides tailored education and skill development for children with cerebral palsy, aiming to integrate them into mainstream schools. The program features individualized learning plans focused on cognitive development, communication, life skills, and vocational training. Creative activities, computer training, and therapy sessions are integrated into the curriculum, which follows government guidelines. For older adolescents, SEP offers vocational training in sewing, weaving, and crafts. The program also trains facilitators and parents, especially in rural Day Care Centers.
Out Reach Program (ORP)
SGCP’s Outreach Program provides care to children with cerebral palsy in remote areas through home visits and community-based rehabilitation. Trained field workers, often from local communities, offer therapeutic support, train caregivers, and integrate rehabilitation into daily routines. Operating in 19 districts and serving around 1,500 families, the program focuses on using community resources and promoting social inclusion. Field workers act as change agents, bridging gaps between healthcare and the community to help children with CP become more independent and integrated.
Day Care Centers (DCCS)
SGCP operates 21 Day Care Centers across Nepal, providing care for children with cerebral palsy and neurological conditions. These centers offer training in life skills, basic education, therapeutic interventions, and vocational development. They are inclusive spaces where children receive support from rehabilitation professionals. SGCP also trains staff and parents, aiming to empower families by allowing parents to pursue economic activities. The centers are community-driven, focusing on sustainability through local fundraising, parental involvement, and NGO partnerships.
