When Agni was a child he lived like everyone ells but suddenly he got very ill and was dependet on help. He went to school for 8 years but had to stop because the place was not suitable for people with a disability. Agni was suffering a lot from the disease that changed his life dramatically from one day to the other
He had to stay at home for a long time until one day a villager offered some help and brought Agni to a Social Service Center in Kathmandu. He was treated at the hospital and got a little bit better. After his improvement Agni decided to become a Christian and got baptized. He did some social work in the church for about seven years and he is really thankful for that time, as the church gave him a new home. Until today he is really active in church and supports other people with a disability in the area by visiting them to pray, because they are not able to go to church. Agni is married to Dolma and they have got one daughter. Together with his family he lives in the Possible Life Center and every day he tries really hard to improve their situation.
Agni is now 32 years old and he dreams of having enough space for all the disabled people, so nobody needs to suffer anymore. He would also like to establish a church in the Possible Life Center so that all the people have the possibility to come there every Saturday and worship together

Dolma is 36 years old and she was born in a small village on a hill near to the Mount Everest. When she was born she was not able to straighten her legs, so during all her childhood she could only crawl. Whit the age of four she knew that she would probably never be able to walk. She did not go to school because she would have had to cross the mountain to get there, which was of course not possible as there were no roads and the way was far too long for her.
She had to stay in the house until she was 21 years old and she did all the work in the household. Dolma suffered a lot during those years, so it was a big relief when one day her relatives brought her to the airport, carrying her on the back. She flew to Kathmandu and was treated in the hospital. Today she is able to walk with a walking aid.
In the hospital a Christian organisation collected videos and pictures from her childhood and created a video clip to show foreign organisations how people are suffering in Nepal. The organisation got many donors but Dolma never got a part of the money. They used her for their own benefit. She was only allowed to live with the organisation but the living conditions were very bad.
Dolma met Agni in church and together they finally left the organisation behind them and invented the Possible Life Center. They have got one daughter and Dolma wants her to have a better life, perhaps as a doctor or a pilot, hence she should have the best possible education.

Algi is 32 years old, married to Manu and together with their daughter they are living in the Possible Life Center. With the age of 14 Algi got meningitis and after one year of treatment he did not get better, so he was not able to walk anymore, because he cannot feel anything from his waist to his feet. He was born in a small village and his parents were very poor and worked on the fields all day long. Algi was alone at home and nobody could take care of him, but he could not to anything on his own during that stadium of the disease. He suffered a lot during that time. One day he asked for some help in the village. Algi wanted to learn how to read and write, he just wanted to live like all the other kids in his age.  Luckily he got the chance to visit a school in a more developed area. He also learned English and is really good at it.
During school education Algi also met Raghunath, who is now also living in the Possible Life Center. They are friends for a very long time and together they also took part in the foundation of the center.Algi is aware of the fact that there are still so many disabled people in the small villages in Nepal who are suffering terribly. He dreams of making it possible to build a home for all of them, so that no one has to live like that anymore.

Manu is a 24 years old woman living together with her husband Algi and their six years old daughter in the Possible Life Center since 2017.
She was born in a very small village in the Terai in southern Nepal.  When she was born her left leg was too short and so she was not really able to walk. She went to school for six years but she was forced to stop because her school was far away from her village and she was not able to walk such long distances every day.
Manu had to stay at home because she could not work on the field, so she did everything in the household for many years. One year after she met Algi they got married and together they moved to Kathmandu to build their new home.
Manu always has a big smile on her face, she loves to cook Dhal Bhat and she dreams of getting better in sewing, so they can expand their garment production.

Raghunath is 29 years old. He is married and together with his wife he lives together with the Center.Since he was born he got Cerebral palsy. This is a group of permanent movement disorders, so he had lots of difficulties with walking and talking since his childhood. Three other members of his family suffer from the same disease. He was able to walk with a walking aid but after a wrong treatment in hospital over 6 months it got worse and he could only walk very slow. Raghunath met Algi in school and they became friends. Together they also moved to Bhaktapur to look for a place to live. But the district is very crowded and so he had many problems, especially with things like crossing the street. Because he could only move very slow, the cars were hooting a lot and Raghanut could not deal with this stressful situation. He fell down on the street several times and living in Bhaktapur was really hard for him.
Now he sits in a wheel chair and living in the Possible Life Center gave him the opportunity to live a normal life away from the overwhelming cities.
His dream is to get in contact with other disabled people, to help them solving their problems and making it possible to live a better life.

Sangita was born in a small village in the Terai and she was disabled since birth. She had one crooked leg and therefore she could not walk properly. With 14 she got a surgery and fortunately she got better and was now able to walk on her own and go to school. She attended school for 10 years and she loved to learn new things every day. She is especially interested in marketing and social studies.
In 2015 she met Rhagunath and after one year they got married and moved in together.
Sangita loves to dance and play wheelchair basketball. With her team she already travelled to Thailand, they are meeting every Saturday to train and she dreams of visiting many more countries. Sangita is now 22 and she would love to open a shop to sell their handmade jewellery and clothes.

Durga is 30 years old, married to Gorak and mother of one little boy. She was born far from Kathmandu in a poor and undeveloped village. With her five siblings she lived on a small farm and her parents worked on the fields. She was born with two crooked legs and therefore could not walk. After a long time of suffering from the painful treatment of straightening her legs at the hospital, she finally got better and went to school for 8 years. She met her future husband Gorak and for a long time they were looking for a place to stay until they were able to live with the Nepalese organization ‘Shanti Sewa’. Through church they got to know Agni, Rhagunath and the others and together they realized their dream of the ‘Possible Life Center’.
As Durga was not able to finish school, she hopes that her son will be able to graduate to get a high level of education and later on a good job and a better life.
