Himalayan HealthCare (HHC) has been working in Nepal for 33 years to deliver health, education and income-generating programs to hundreds of thousands of individuals in hard-to-reach villages, most of which are accessible only by foot or by seasonal dirt roads now. HHC trains local health providers and supports community education programs on nutrition, disease prevention and family planning, offering long-term, sustainable solutions to Nepal's health and development challenges.
Nepal is one of the world's least developed countries. Half the population lives in poverty, with high rates of malnourishment, child mortality and illiteracy. A decade-long civil war and the 2015 devastating earthquake and Covid further hindered the government's ability to provide healthcare. Rural women and child especially in more remote and isolated communities, face severe health hazards with poor health services, hygiene, sanitation and water.
HHC's services through the village health posts and the Dr. Parajuli Community Hospital in the past have changed countless lives and helped reduce the infant mortality rate in certain villages it serves from 225 per 1,000 births to 15 per 1,000, well below the national average. HHC will train women health providers to help women and children in communities that have little, help build toilets, support children in school and fight malnutrition in infants and children in remote rural communities
HHC's decades of sustainable rural health services to help where the government was not able to provide is now handed over to the communities. With help from donors like you, HHC hopes to create a support system that adds meaningful support to their efforts in hard-to-reach parts of Nepal.
