Hema Ojha was 25 years old when she joined EPSA Nepal in April 2016. Originally being form the Far East region of Bajhanga she came to Kathmandu for her Bachelor in teaching when she was about 20 years. Being the only sister with two brothers, she is also the only disabled family member. She has deformed legs which result in her being extremely short and not being able to bend her knees or stand for a longer period of time. Her parents have some farmland that is supporting the family so she was able to attend 10 years of school in her village. Tragically, she lost her father when she was 18 years old. After finishing her studies she could not find an employment in her profession. Before joining EPSA Nepal she had some handicraft training with another organization but after the training there was no work to be done and she had called EPSA already in 2015 but there had been no space for her, which she knew through another EPSA member. At EPSA Nepal she learned how to sow. After acquiring some more handicraft skills she dreams of returning to her village to teach what she learned to other handicapped people.
