Better health for Chepang Community of Nepal
The Chepang is one of the poor, marginalized, indigenous ethnic communities in Nepal. They have lived a semi-nomadic life, fully dependent on natural forest resources surrounding them. Households average about 6-8 people in small inadequate conditions, leaving families vulnerable to infectious diseases. The nearest health post can be up to 7 hour walk away. Implementing WASH awareness program for the Chepang will make them be aware of infectious diseases and help to prevent ill health in future.
