A ramp for Sapana: volunteers and tools needed
Help Sapana regain independence: a simple ramp build.
🇳🇵 Bhaktapur, Bagmati, Nepal529 views
Sapana has used a wheelchair since 2025, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Sapana can only go outside when two neighbors are available to lift the chair.
The materials (treated timber, screws and non-slip surface) have been donated by a local lumberyard. We need a carpenter or two to measure, cut and build, plus a helper or two.
The ramp has to meet the local accessibility standard of 1:12 slope, which is why a person with building experience is important. We estimate twelve hours of work.
Tools are welcome - saws, drills, spirit levels. We'll provide refreshments, and Sapana's family will cook lunch for the team.
Thank you for reading my story.

Wishing you the best, Bishnu. Looking forward to the next update. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Love from Sakai

keep going, Bishnu. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Put this on a community board in Monterrey this morning. Thinking of Bhaktapur.
You're not alone. This could happen to any of us. Thinking of Bhaktapur

So sorry you're going through this, Bishnu. Shared it with a few friends. Love from Manchester.
