The Disabled Children Fonds (DCF) is a Community Service Project organised by Round Table Austria, providing sustainable medical support to children in Nepal since 1993.

It was the recipient of the CEE RTI Award for Community Service Project of the year 2018–2019.

Background

The fund was founded in 1993 by Martin Uitz to deliver ongoing medical assistance to children in Nepal. The original flagship project – the Jorpati Hospital in Kathmandu – received funding for many years through interest earnings and donations. It served as the cornerstone for one of Round Table Austria’s most important and enduring international aid initiatives, focusing especially on children with disabilities.

Current focus

Since 2010, the fund has concentrated on the RTA Children Health Post in Nemuwa, southeastern Nepal. This small clinic provides free, accessible healthcare close to home for approximately 9,000 children and adolescents. Services include regular health check-ups, treatments, and preventive examinations.
The clinic’s operations are sustainably financed through the fund’s returns:
A permanent doctor
A medical assistant
Rotating specialist doctors as needed
The fund currently holds approximately €100,000.

The Concept & Sustainability

The Disabled Children Fund exemplifies sustainable aid in the spirit of Round Table:
transparent financial management and reporting
long-term commitment (over 30 years and counting)
strong collaboration between Austrian Tablers and local Nepalese partners (Tablers and communities)
Funding relies primarily on endowment interest and donations rather than annual campaigns, ensuring continuity even in changing economic conditions. The project maintains close ties with Nepalese Round Table structures for on-site implementation and oversight.

Impact

By delivering free medical care directly in rural areas, the health post significantly improves child health outcomes, reduces travel burdens for families, and prevents many illnesses through early detection and treatment. It stands as a flagship example of how Austrian Tabling creates lasting change far beyond national borders.
Founder & Key Figure: Martin Uitz (initiator and long-time supporter)
Current Fund Volume: approx. €100,000
Main Beneficiaries: ~9,000 children and youth in southeastern Nepal
Location: Nemuwa, Nepal (since 2010); previously Jorpati Hospital, Kathmandu
