2020 marks 10 years since our volunteer medical teams began traveling to Nepal to bring the gift of healing. Amid the majestic mountains of Nepal, children living in poverty often struggle to stand.

We had planned to return to Nepal this year but have postponed our trip due to the Coronavirus. We are now planning for 2021. Stay tuned!

Her Farm Films is a women's empowerment program that is breaking all gender roles and providing real, sustainable incomes for independence. Real empowerment means an income that enables a woman to support herself and not live a life of dependency on a male member of the family. Unless and until a woman can achieve the level of income she has not been empowered, she's been further enslaved. Small incomes go to the male members of the household and the woman simply has more work to do.

Nepal is warming at nearly twice the global average, with urban areas facing severe heat stress. In the southern Terai, extreme heat and humidity are driving rapid growth in energy demand for cooling, increasing emissions and placing significant stress on energy infrastructure. Dhangadhi Sub-Metropolitan City (DSMC) in Sudurpaschim Province experiences recurrent heatwaves during May–August, with temperatures frequently exceeding 40°C. Climate variability, rapid and unplanned urbanization, loss of green spaces, and limited energy-efficient infrastructure exacerbate risks to public health, livelihoods, and essential services, disproportionately affecting low-income households, outdoor workers, and residents of poorly insulated housing. Impacts include heat-related illness and mortality, school disruptions, and reduced functionality of public facilities.
