1. Background
The Nepal Boccia Association for the Disabled (NBAD) is committed to promoting inclusive sports in Nepal by strengthening systems, building capacity, and expanding access for persons with disabilities, particularly individuals with severe physical impairments.
Boccia, as a highly strategic and precision-based sport, provides a unique platform for meaningful participation, empowerment, and competitive engagement for persons with high support needs.
