Health & Education
Started as a small local aid organization, we now have active members and supporters in several parts of Germany. Our partner projects in Nepal have also become more diverse and are distributed across multiple regions.
The Nepal Aid e.V. is a nationwide organization represented in Germany, actively working locally in Nepal. The association operates a jeep in the Tamang Heritage Region with its Nepali partner organization "Himalayan Cooperation Society (HiCoS)" that brings patients from remote mountain villages to so-called "Health Posts" or to the nearest hospital. Furthermore, the association supports these health facilities in investments as well as in financing emergency transports to the capital Kathmandu.
The association also runs a children's home in Khamjin. This provides accommodation, meals, and educational support for students from surrounding mountain villages who otherwise could not attend school due to the long journey. The operation of the children's home is supported by the Käthe-Kollwitz-Gymnasium in Dortmund. Members who teach at this school were significantly involved in the establishment of the children's home.
Founded in 2016 as "Nepalhilfe Straubenhardt e.V.", the association underwent a name change in 2019 to "Nepal Aid e.V." to accommodate its members distributed across the country and to appeal to further potential members.
