HEAD Management Team and Staff
Chhitup Lama
Founder, Executive Director
I founded HEAD Nepal in 2011 with a hope that the struggles that I faced as a partially blind kid growing up in these remote mountains ends with me. Since then, work has never felt like work. The motivation came from within because the vision that I shared was accepted and adopted by countless many who joined me on this adventure, a crazy one. People called me that! Crazy! Because I dreamt of a just world, a equal world for all people, despite their abilities or disabilities.
I don’t know how close or far off we are from the end goal, but we can bridge the gap together. You and me.
