“Health & Ed 4 Nepal” is a non-profit, tax exempt, corporation created to assist the Dream of a Nepalese Guide (Jagat Lama) to improve the medical and education needs of his home community – Kumari, Nepal. Over the next five years, we plan to:
- Build and staff a medical clinic
- Improve school facilities and educational opportunities
- Provide a health awareness program for the people of the Kumari
To achieve this “Health & Ed 4 Nepal” has partnered with Health and Education for Nepal., a Nepal NGO.

Health
The people of the Kumari use medieval methods to treat sickness and injury. If they should decide to see a doctor, they have to walk nearly 9 hrs to the nearest hospital. Not only does the Kumari have no medical facility, it also has no electricity, no road, no water, and no toilets. Read more about health »
-
Education
The local school house is sadly in need of repaired. Around 250 students attend the school where there are few books, very little teaching supplies, and no library. The school is staffed by 3 teachers who have no formal educational training. Read more about education »

Awareness
The people of the Kumari have no understanding of the dangers of smoking, or of health problems cause by living in a room filled with smoke from the cooking fire. They have no training or tools to help them plan their families. They don’t have the simplest knowledge about nutrition, sanitation, or hygiene. Enormous health benefit could be realized from a simple adult health awareness program.
