This woman, suffering from cerebral palsy, is an example of independence against all odds

For the past few years, Dilmaya Tako’s daily routine has been the same almost every day. A resident of Nagadesh in Bhaktapur, Tako exercises till 10 in the morning. She rests, has her lunch, basks in the sun for a few minutes and begins her work: hand embroidery.

Tako, who has been suffering from cerebral palsy from an age of six months, sells her products online which has helped the 31-year-old become self-reliant financially, setting an example that people with cerebral palsy can also make a living independently.
