Knowledge for People's First Trip
Knowledge for People traveled to Nepal and partnered with Autism Care Nepal to provide autism education. There were no resources for children with autism in Nepal (even most doctors don't know what it is) and the KfP team worked with 30 families, all who have a child with autism, to provide them with therapy strategies and presented on topics related to autism to help improve the quality of life for their children.
