<div><strong>Who Is Deepti Gurung?</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Deepti is the Co-Founder of the Citizenship Affected People’s Network (CAPN) in Nepal, a grassroots movement advocating for inclusive citizenship laws.

</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Her tireless work has been recognized globally. In 2024, Deepti received:
</div>
<ul>
<li>The UNHCR Nansen Award (Asia)

<li>The Voice of Courage Award 2024
</li>
</ul>
<div>These honors recognize her extraordinary courage, leadership, and commitment to justice.

<div><strong>About Deepti’s Medical Condition</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Deepti has been diagnosed with Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma, a type of cancer that originates in the lymphatic system—an essential part of the body’s immune defense. This cancer affects lymphocytes (white blood cells) and can spread throughout the body if left untreated.
</div>
<div>The good news is that Deepti was diagnosed at an early stage, which significantly improves the chances of successful treatment and recovery. However, treatment for Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma—including chemotherapy, diagnostic tests, hospital care, medications, and follow-up treatment—is extremely costly, especially in contexts where comprehensive health insurance and public support are limited.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Why Your Support Matters</strong>
</div>
<div>Deepti has spent years fighting for the rights of others, often at great personal sacrifice. Now, she faces a battle she cannot fight alone.

</li>
<li>Hospitalization and medical tests
</li>

</li>
<li>Recovery and follow-up treatment
</li>
</ul>
<div><br />
</div>

</div>
<div><br />
</div>
