One year HCH clinic

On Oct. 7th the Himalayan Care Hands hospital in Mainapokhari had it’s first anniversary. For that special occasion a group of Dutch and Belgian boardmembers, donors and their friends flew to Nepal to attend the celebrations. They were heartily welcomed by our sister foundation in Kathmandu, the Himali Health Cooperative Society and of course the inhabitants of the remote mountain village. The clinic was well managed by the new established Cooperative Society, its number of members increased which contributed in a good way to the financial self-sustainability.

With a great number of positive speeches it was memorized how difficult it was to construct and establish a clinic in this deprived region, where healthcare was almost not accessible nor available. But now, since it’s opening in 2013, the number of patients increased so much that an expansion of the clinic with a first floor is necessary. Also there is a need for an ambulance to reach patients in even more remote areas in the mountains or to take them in case of emergencies to specialized hospitals in Kathmandu. The visitors were very impressed by the activities and professional management and all are willing to seek ways to support the clinic also in the future.

Here some first impressions:

Opening Himalayan Care Hands Hospital

Mainapokhari, Nepal, 7 October 2013 – After two and a half years since HCH’s original plan to built a maternity clinic in the remote mountain area around mainapokhari, the day of the opening was a fact. Although final constructions still going on, the festivities started to invite and involve the local communities in the brand new healthcare facility, located in the green valley and overlooking the several villages that will be benefit from the new services. The healthcare in this remote area is poor and with the new hospital a major problem will be addressed. With a tremendous effort from both Dutch and Nepali partners for the realization of the clinic the further management and ownership of hospital is transferred to the Village Development Committee. More information and an extensive report following soon.

Letter from the president

Namaste and welcome to Himalayan Care Hands

After months of preparations we are proud to launch our newly founded NGO “Himalayan Care Hands” on the world wide web. Our mission is simply stated to improve the quality of life of underprivileged and disadvantaged people in Nepal. Of course there are many similar initiatives in our country, but still a lot of help is needed. Still health care and education can not taken for granted, they are not a commodity or accessible like maybe in your own country. Nepal is the home of the Himalayas, also meaning that there are many rural and difficult to reach places in the country where people have little or no access to the basic facilities, like sanitation, water, nutrition. Health care and education are poor at least. Our new foundation is created by local businessmen who want to contribute to the development of their own country, to mobilize fundings and especially expertise from national and international organizations and volunteers. To literally built a better future on behalf of those who are in need of these basic facilities. Literally means stretching out our hands, to provide education and health care and co-create and learn local communities to use their own hands. So me and our team invite you to take a look around on our website, who we are, what our mission is, how we want to realize that mission in very concrete projects that are listed under our existing and future projects. What we need? Caring hands, hands that can donate, that can sponsor or even give us a hand as volunteer and participate in our project, from over there or maybe even to come here, to my beloved country and help us on the spot! A complete list of opportunities you find under How to help.

Let me thank you in advance for your curiosity to see what Himalayan Care Hands is about and what you can do to make a difference!

Samarpan Baal Kendra funding started by HCH

A team from Himalayan Care Hands (HCH) visited Barampur, a small village in the Chitwan region. The reason for the team’s visit to the village was to talk with its community about a small school they started just six months before, named Samarpan Baal Kendra (roughly translated to Community’s Children Place), to see if any help was needed and to what extent.
