Agenda
- As Nepal is vulnerable to natural disasters such as earthquake, flood, landslide, fire etc., the trust assists in bringing the lives of such disaster affected people to normalcy by providing humanitarian assistances. Similarly, depending on the availability of fund, the trust plans to conduct different types of support activities like construction of temporary shelters, support in clean water distribution etc. to specifically identified areas during the post disaster phase.
- Substantial number of rural population in Nepal is dependent upon agriculture. These people are prone to spinal injury working in farms. In addition to this, the uneven landscape, old and unmaintained vehicles plying on poor conditioned road, untrained and inexperienced drivers are the main factors leading to increase in vehicular accidents. In addition to this, there is significant number of Nepalese Army personnel suffering from spinal cord injury, mostly during the internal conflict of Nepal. In this context, the trust has been contributing in making the 'differently-abled' individuals' lives easier by providing wheelchairs and other supportive aid materials.
- The trust also provides basic health services support and various welfare and social services to those who are unable to afford due to poor financial condition or to the elderly homes.

- The trust has also made a significant contribution in improving lives of the poor, elderly, underprivileged, needy and disaster affected people by providing various welfare, social, medical, educational supports and humanitarian assistance.
