PROGRAM OVERVIEW

Nepal faces several pressing health issues, many of which exist due to its geography, socioeconomic challenges, and limited healthcare infrastructure.

With non-communicable diseases, mental health, nutritional deficiencies and environmental health issues, our Health Promotion projects are vital for raising awareness and improving health education amongst the community. By raising awareness of these issues, our goal is to build community capacity and impact overall health. 

 

Making an Impact

Contribute to global health and well-being!

Through our partnerships in Nepal, we work with various community members, including local schools, women groups and healthcare facilities as we work on a range of projects that aim to improve community health. As part of our Health Promotion Challenge, you will get to work on these hands-on, creating long-term sustainable impact. Supported by our team on the ground, you will be:
