“People with disabilities need access to specific skill-trainings and work assistance in order to thrive, but many people in Nepal do not have access to these accommodations. I want to help artisans with disabilities become independent. When people offer us donations, I encourage them instead to buy from our workshop. Donations have a one-time benefit, but when you buy products made by artisans with disabilities, you are providing work opportunities, and work opportunities provide dignity”
