Support 300 Safe Births in the Nepal Himalaya
This project will fund 300 safe births in the remote Nepal Himalaya by employing trained midwives and funding essential equipment for maternal care. Northern Gorkha is a seriously neglected area. Health facilities are rudimentary and villages up to 7 days walk from a road. Young mothers and their babies risk their lives as they face the dangers of childbirth and the crucial first few weeks of life. High mortality rates can be mitigated if women and their babies have access to essential care.

Responding to the food security consequences of Covid-19 in North Gorkha
The mountain communities of Nepal and across the Hindu Kush Himalaya region face specific challenges due to the remoteness from road networks, accelerated climate change, food scarcity and malnutrition, poor sanitation and health, low levels of literacy, with little opportunity to generate incomes and develop livelihoods beyond subsistence farming. These challenges are likely to be exacerbated with the outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic in Nepal, with assessments by our Trustees in Nepal suggesting that mountain communities based on subsistence farming are likely to experience food shortages, interrupted access to seeds and agricultural inputs and the danger of famine and malnutrition. This project builds on a post-earthquake livelihoods programme in North Gorkha (2016-2021), which piloted micro-agricultural development, by modeling kitchen gardens in Tsum Nubri and the provision of monthly agricultural development training workshops to mothers’ groups in North Gorkha.
