As the year 2016 comes to an end and we prepare to welcome the new year, I would like to thank you for your support to the Binaytara Foundation’s Nepal home hospice project.
The year 2016 was pretty eventful for the Binaytara Foundation as we made lasting impacts in many lives this year. We started the year 2016 by establishing a home hospice program in Nepal in January. The program has already served 74 patients as of November 2016. You have already helped us make a history by changing the way terminally ill patients in Patan, Nepal spend the last few weeks or months of their lives now with the home hospice services being available to them.
But we are not stopping there. The Binaytara foundation has some ambitious plans for the coming years. The need for hospice care in Nepal is ever growing and there are no home hospice or palliative care services available to people living outside of Kathmandu valley. We plan to mobilize local physicians, donors, grant-makers and our dedicated volunteers to make hospice care available in all of Nepal within the next two years. By utilizing technology and training the existing healthcare manpower, we believe this goal, while ambitious, is attainable if we continue to get the support of generous donors and supporters like you.
In November 2016, we partnered with the government of India to establish a home hospice program in Madhya Pradesh, a state that is home to 73 million people. This partnership will forever change the way terminally ill patients in India spend the last few days or weeks of their lives. The cost of our home hospice program is less than $25 a day. Your small donation can provide comfort care to many terminally ill patients.
