KATHMANDU, FEB 05 - The government of Japan has extended a financial assistance of USD 73,588 to Samaj Sewa Sudhar Yuwa Sangh, a committee to help the disabled.
According to a press statement issued on Friday by the Japanese Embassy in Kathmandu, the assistance will be used for the implementation of the Project for the Construction of a Rehabilitation School for People with Intellectual Disabilities and other Severe Disabilities in Mechinagar Sub-Municipality.
This financial assistance is extended under the Grant Assistance for Grassroots Human Security Projects (GGP) scheme of the government of Japan.
A grant contract to this effect was signed and exchanged today between Japanese Ambassador Tatsuo Mizuno and Dharma Raj Ghimire, President of Samaj Sewa Sudhar Yuwa Sangh, Mechinagar, the statement read.
The project is to complete a facility to provide opportunities for receiving education and rehabilitation to disabled children. The recipient organisation constructed the ground floor, in October 2009, with local supporters including Mechinagar sub-municipality.
On the occasion, Japanese Ambassador expressed his wish that Samaj Sewa Sudhar Yuwa Sangh will succeed in operating the Rehabilitation School in firm cooperation with Mechinagar Sub-Municipality, DDC Jhapa, Mechi Chamber of Commerce & Industry and the local people.
Furthermore, he expressed his hope that disabled children will live in dignity and that the grant will play a symbolic role in further strengthening the relationship between Japan and Nepal.
