The Provincial Government of the Koshi province has partnered with the Karuna Foundation Nepal (KFN), a Netherlands-based foundation focusing on development support in Nepal, to carry out the Disability Prevention and Rehabilitation Programme (DPRP) by training teachers, identifying out-of-school children, and improve school accessibility, among other activities.
