Why this Project is Important
Potential Long Term Impact
Over 5 years the equipment funded by this project will allow us to conduct 2,000 - 2,500 patient visits. We will have a significant positive impact on the health and well-being of the communities we will serve.
Project Message
In rural communities where we have not yet established a health clinic, our Mobile Medical Camps will deliver critically important health care to those who simply have no other medical care available.

Latest Update from the Field
Healthcare update from Nepal
By Jenn Spradlin - Assistant Director, February 12, 2009 10:07 PM
With your donations and support, we are able to provide medical assistance to these people - the district of Rasuwa is nearly the poorest district in Nepal - ranking 66 out of 75.
We are returning to this area again in March 2009, to offer the same assistance. Stay tuned with updates at the link below.
Thank you for your continued support of our charity treks.
