Health & Education
The Nepal Aid Association is a nationwide organization in Germany that operates locally in Nepal. The association operates a jeep in the Tamang Heritage Region with its Nepali partner organization "Himalayan Cooperation Society (HiCoS)", which transports patients from remote mountain villages to so-called "Health Posts" or the nearest hospital. In addition, the association supports these health facilities with investments and the funding of emergency transports to the capital, Kathmandu.
The association also operates a children's home in Khamjin. This provides accommodation, meals, and educational support for students from the surrounding mountain villages, who would otherwise not be able to attend school due to the long journey. The Nepal Aid Association receives support for the operation of the children’s home from 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 better serve the members spread across the country and to appeal to potential new members.
