Health and Education for Nepal

“Health and Education for Nepal” (HEN) is a non-profit Non Government Organization (NGO) in Nepal established with the objective of improving the Health and Education of rural Nepali communities through special collaborative partnerships.
Our primary project is to assist the Kumari community which is located in the Nuwakot district of Nepal, to build and staff a medical clinic and to improve school facilities and educational opportunities. The Kumari community has no medical center, and the school buildings are simple structures with limited to no facilities. The Kumari community is beginning to recognize the need for education, which includes educating females and for having choices for medical care, neither of which has been available to date in the community.

HEN has partnered with “Health & Ed 4 Nepal”, a U.S. non-profit corporation, to build a medical clinic in the Kumari region of Nepal. The U.S. non-profit corporation is providing funds to build a medical clinic that will eventually be self-sustaining and scholarships to train a medical staff and short term support for the operations of the medical facility.
