Why this Project is Important
Potential Long Term Impact
With this Clinic and laboratory, we are one crucial step closer to our goal of 3 clinics that triangulate this part of the Rasuwa District in Nepal, making health care available to thousands.
Project Message
The Clinic has become a truly important resource for these communities -- every donation makes a tremendous difference to thousands who would otherwise have no available health care.
