Say HI to an extraordinary child. Say hello to Nirmala.
Nirmala loves sliding down bannisters, playing with her friends and spending far too much time glued to a screen. Just an ordinary 8-year-old!
Except, a year ago Nirmala lost her right leg when a wall fell on her during the devastating earthquake in Nepal. Imagine the terror of being caught in an earthquake and waking up in the chaos of a hospital overwhelmed by injured people. She was hurt, lost, and very afraid.
Since that day, thanks to our physiotherapists, she's not just learned to walk again, but also how to laugh.
Will you please take a step to help more children like Nirmala?
Our Every Step Counts appeal will help more children like Nirmala take their first steps by supporting sustainable rehabilitation services in countries that need it most.
When you're learning to walk again after a life-changing injury, every step counts, no matter how small. But sadly, in countries such as Nepal, disabled and injured people struggle to access the care they need and can easily find themselves excluded and forgotten.
For children like Nirmala, every step counts. Will you take your first step today?
