Dear Supporter,
A recent UK Board meeting was held, where we confirmed that we are now waiting on the Nepal government to sign off our 3-year plan to carry out projects in the hidden Himalayas. We will continue to deliver healthcare and education programmes in the NW region of Humla, including the Little Doctor’s initiative.
Opportunities
This initiative has been executed in an extremely isolated and economically disadvantaged region of the Himalayas in Nepal, called Humla. As a result, the endeavours of the project have the capacity to instigate significant positive transformations in the designated districts, particularly in those that are remote and underserved.
Beneficiaries expressed a strong desire for the program to continue, signalling their willingness to play an active and proactive role in supporting ongoing development efforts. Our healthprojects in Humla focus on community health, constructing health facilities, providing medicines and medical equipment, and raising awareness, particularly amongst women's groups, children, and maternal healthcare. Other efforts include child health education programs, such as the Little Doctors initiative and support for government health facilities.
In the education sector, the project contributed to the construction and repair of school buildings in various locations, providing libraries, capacity-building programs, and educational materials. The project has generated lasting impacts across various dimensions in the project districts, including social, economic, behavioural, environmental, and infrastructural aspects. These effects are expected to persist even after the project concludes.
Our project works support sustainability through the transformation of resources and responsibility to the government to continue the services in future. Likewise, schools that have been constructed through the support of the project and have also been handed over to the government for their proper operation.
We are pleased to advise donors that our first year of operations are fully funded, with many thanks to a bequest. We still need to raise funds for Years 2 and 3.
Thank you for your continued support of our healthcare and education programmes. Every $1 donated, is a $1 spent in Nepal.
Namaste,
Anna, on behalf of The Nepal Trust team.
