In observance of International Human Solidarity Day, the Hult Prize at IOE, Pulchowk Campus, powered by Hima Aus Offshore, in collaboration with the Rotaract Club of Kathmandu Metropolitan, organized a transformative event titled "Impact Event: A Celebration of Inclusivity." This initiative took place at the Center for Disabled Children Assistance (CDCA) in Kapan, Kathmandu, and was designed to support and empower children with disabilities aged 6 to 20. The event aligned with the global theme of solidarity and directly contributed to the UN Sustainable Development Goals 3 (Good Health and Well-being) and 10 (Reduced Inequalities).
The day began with a professional medical team from the Rotaract Club setting up a comprehensive dental and medical camp. Every child at the center received a free dental check-up and basic health consultations, along with essential medicines distributed under expert guidance. Simultaneously, the Hult Prize team provided educational support by distributing stationery kits containing notebooks and coloring materials, equipping the children with tools to enhance their learning and creative expression.
Beyond these essential services, the event fostered emotional connections through music and dance. Members of the Hult Prize at IOE joined the children in a spirited celebration that evolved into a talent showcase, where the children displayed their impressive performances. These joyful moments highlighted the strength and vibrant spirits of the residents at CDCA.
The celebration concluded with a nutritious community meal. The children were served momos from Shandar Momo, fresh snacks from Romi Bakery Cafe, and juice provided by Dabur Nepal. This shared experience of togetherness served as a powerful reminder of the impact of communal support.
By combining healthcare, educational resources, and entertainment, the organizers successfully raised awareness of inclusive health and social equality. The event stood as a testament to the power of human solidarity, demonstrating that collective action and small gestures of kindness can foster a more inclusive and compassionate society.
