SGCP - Self-help Group for Cerebral Palsy

A health camp was successfully conducted at Satprayas Nepal, Bhaktapur.

With profound sadness, we received the news of the passing of our dear friend, Martijn.
On behalf of the Self-help Group for Cerebral Palsy, we would like to express our sincere condolences to Ellen, the children, and the entire SHBN family during this very difficult time. While no words can truly ease this profound loss, we hope that the cherished memories of Martijn’s life and his inspiring spirit will provide some comfort and strength in the days ahead.
Martijn will always be remembered with deep respect and gratitude. May his soul rest in peace.

A two-day carers’ training program was successfully conducted for the Sunkothi Carers’ Group in collaboration with Ward Office 27, Lalitpur Metropolitan City. The first day focused on a positive psychological support session aimed at strengthening carers’ mental well-being and resilience. On the second day, participants engaged in hands-on practical training on how to produce liquid soap, laundry soap, and phenyl.
SGCP continues to prioritize carers’ mental health, skill development, and opportunities for sustainable income generation through such programs.

Health Camp was successfully conducted at Chitrapur Day Care Centre for children with Cerebral Palsy and other neurological conditions by the multidisciplinary team of SGCP Nepal. A total of 23 children were assessed in the presence of their carers. Heartfelt thanks to the dedicated team for their excellent work.
Prior to the camp, a joint visit and observation of the centre was undertaken by Ms. Diana (FVF) together with the team. This visit will support further planning and strengthening of the centre for improved services and development.

A very insightful discussion highlighting SGCP’s activities. Great job, Luni Shakya, and thank you to ADSoN and Radio Sagarmatha (FM 102.4) for this meaningful platform.

SGCP Nepal, in collaboration with the Rotary Club of Patan Durbar Square, successfully supported 50 families of children with cerebral palsy in Kavre District through the distribution of induction stoves and saucepans. This activity was carried out with the support of DDF RID 3292 Nepal Bhutan.
We are thankful to Dr. Pragya, President of RCPDS, for her strong leadership and support in making this initiative possible. We also thank Mr. Chandra Man, SGCP Rehabilitation Facilitator and Cluster Head of Kavre and surrounding districts, for his good coordination, which helped make the programme successful.
Together, we remain committed to improving the quality of life of children with cerebral palsy and their families.

Today, during the SGCP Executive Committee Meeting, we held a condolence tribute in memory of Prof. Gunter Gross-Selbeck with deep sorrow and respect. A similar homage was also held last Monday at Dhapakhel. Prof. Gunter was a visionary and a deeply compassionate senior expert whose dedication was instrumental in the establishment and strengthening the Rehabilitation Centre for Cerebral Palsy (CPRC) at SGCP Nepal. His guidance and commitment have left a lasting legacy that continues to inspire and support children with cerebral palsy and their families.
We extend our heartfelt condolences to his family and loved ones. May his soul rest in eternal peace and be remembered with gratitude and respect.

On the 45th day since his passing, we remember with profound sorrow and deep respect Prof. Gunter Gross-Selbeck (20.05.1939 – 03.04.2026), who left us at the age of 86.
Prof. Gunter was a true visionary and a compassionate well-wisher whose lifelong commitment was central to the establishment of the Rehabilitation Centre for Cerebral Palsy (CPRC) at SGCP Nepal. His encouragement, guidance, and steadfast dedication have left an enduring legacy that continues to bring hope and support to children with cerebral palsy and their families.
The CPRC continues its services today, supporting many children each year and carrying forward the vision and values he so passionately believed in. His legacy remains a guiding light in our mission and will continue to inspire our work for generations to come.
On this 45th day of remembrance, we extend our deepest condolences to his family, friends, and loved ones. May his soul rest in eternal peace. He will always be remembered with gratitude and profound respect.
Rest in peace, dear Prof. Gunter Gross-Selbeck. 🙏
