Mission Statement
Kalikot District and the village of Oda are located in Nepal’s Karnali Zone, an area enduring a "Silent Emergency" (UNICEF). The mountainous region is accessible by only one road, with many villages like Oda only accessible by hours on foot. Nepal is the 12th poorest country in the world, and on many measures, Kalikot is its most deprived region. Our communities struggle with malnutrition and extreme poverty, and they have difficulty accessing professional health care and education. Gender and caste discrimination block women’s access to economic opportunity, education, and equal healthcare.
Description
Headquartered in the district of Kalikot, our initiatives in healthcare, education, and community support have become critical, lifesaving services.
Hand-in-hand with local leaders, private partners, and government offices, we develop community-led solutions, helping Nepal’s most impoverished and remote communities to thrive.
