Reconstruction of health services in Nepal

Project overview

Project content: Reconstruction of health services in five VDC districts

Where: District of Dhading, west of Kathmandu in earthquake core area

Projektpartner: Karuna Trust and Green Tara Nepal

Budget: 50.000 € total

Duration: May 2015 to April 2018

Together with Karuna Trust UK, we are helping the Green Tara team to rebuild health services in one of the regions most affected by the earthquake. Especially young mothers, pregnant women and children benefit. The nearest hospital is only a few hours walk away. So it is a blessing for the families to rebuild the existing resources. Until all health stations are repaired, the mother groups meet in large WHO tents. The community helpers are trained to look after the families and to advise and help with all health issues. All topics related to pregnancy and childbirth as well as infant care are particularly important. This also includes education against child marriage and early pregnancies.

JUST HELP

Andrea Brandenburger (Chairwoman of the Buddhist Center Essen)

“I had the good fortune to meet the director of one of the projects supported by Karuna Germany. A young woman doctor who does fantastic work in Nepal. I have rarely met anyone who has convinced me so directly and personally.”

Sabine Timeus (M.A. Philosophy, Yoga Teacher)

“The emotional and economic independence of people worldwide is close to my heart. The support of Karuna Germany in helping young families in India to help themselves convinced me especially. Step by step into freedom!”

Alexandra Conscience (social pedagogue)

“I am committed to Karuna Deutschland e.V., because it touches me to get reports from India and Nepal very closely. And I also find it fantastic how committed people are to such projects in their free time.”

Claudia Krüger (Dipl.-Ing.)

“The situation of the Dalits in India touches me very much. Prejudices and discrimination make me very sad. Karuna Germany has close contacts to very committed people who help people to help themselves. Every single one counts!”

Taracitta Ch. Becker (Dipl.-Oec.)

“I support Karuna because I want people nowhere in the world to be treated with contempt and prejudice for their origins rather than with openness, love and respect.”

Dietmar Becker (owner of an advertising agency)

“I support Karuna Germany because this organisation provides valuable help effectively and unbureaucratically. It is the low administrative costs in particular that make my donation really go where help is needed.”

Dr. Rosemarie Kosche (historian, scientific librarian)

“My personal and professional development has always been supported. This is why the Karuna projects in India and Nepal are so important to me: they help marginalised and stigmatised children and women on their way to a life in dignity.”
