Spinal Injury Sangh Nepal

Spinal Injury Sangh Nepal (SISN), is a registered non-profit society. It seeks to roll back, as far as possible, the despair that burdens victims of spinal injury and other neurological problems and their families. The founding members of the SISN represent a cross-section of prominent and socially conscious individuals from Nepali society. The Sangh was the idea of the founding chairman, who suffered from a broken back in a trekking accident in August 2000 and managed to recover completely over the course of the next year. SISN currently has two ongoing projects: “Spinal Injury Rehabilitation Centre” (SIRC) and Vocational Opportunity for Inclusion in the Community and Employment (VOICE). SIRC provides holistic rehabilitation service to people with spinal cord injury and other neurological problems while VOICE looks into providing vocational training and motivate people with spinal cord injury to be economically independent.
