On average, one woman dies from the complications related to childbirth every four hours. (source UNICEF) Rural Nepal faces an acute shortage of maternity services. The result is one of the highest maternal mortality rates in the world. It's a loss of life that is preventable. Lack of trained staff and facilities for delivery are two of the leading causes of the high maternal mortality rates. That's fixable, with very little money.

For nearly a decade we've been supporting small health clinics in rural Nepal. We are now launching the first clinic specializing in women's health in a rural community. 90% of women in Nepal do not get any OBGYN care and this is especially true in rural areas. 600,000 women suffer with uterine prolapse. There are very few women's health facilities outside of major cities.

On the banks of the heavily polluted Bagmati river there is a slum, with tin shanty "homes' having no toilets, floors, heat or lights. Everyday, 140 children walk from this slum to Koseli School where they bathe, brush teeth, change into clean school uniforms, have a hearty breakfast and begin to study. It's a place of miracles, there's no other way to state it. It costs just over $1.00 a day to feed, educate and provide clothing for these kids, an incredibly cheap cost.

There are over 30,000 registered NGO's in Nepal. Few have staff capable of posting projects on GlobalGiving as they don't speak English, or speak it quite poorly. Most don't understand western donors and how to create projects that appeal to donors, are relevant and meaningful in the context of a western donor. Few have the skills to create a clear mission and vision and articulate their goals to a western audience.
