Project visit to Singiyahi development villages

On February 13-15 (2012) Himalayan Care Hands foundations visited Singiyahi in the Mahottari district in Janakpur. In this deprived rural area the Center for Integrated Rural Development (CIRD Janakpur) is improving basic living conditions for the hundreds of (farming) families.
The communities lack healthcare, education, (nutritious) food and hygiene but with the help of Heifer International a unique empowerment program is running that can best be described by the famous pro-verb ‘we do not give them fish, but let learn them to fish’.
In October 2011 a unique experiment was added to the activities in collaboration with Himalayan Care Hands. To foster education four special XO laptops were donated and a special computer training started for a select group of children. The basic idea is to bring a ‘school in a box’ (laptop) since materials for good educations are rare or missing in these rural areas. With the help of CIRD the pilot was carried out and progress could fast be witnessed by the energetic and motivated style in which the children want to learn. For encouraging further learning, children were awarded by a special certificate. Two more laptops were donated.
The welcome and guidance of both CIRD members, presidents and staff and the residents of the different communities were overwhelming. In just a few days HCH learned about the many objectives and both CIRD and HCH discussed many possibilities on further collaboration, including expanding the digital school projects, new awareness programs and finding ways to enhance local education and medical facilities. Please help us and them by supporting this project! Do not just ‘like’, but look closely at what you see. Nepali empowering their fellow brothers and sisters.

Project visit to maternity clinic building site

In February 2012, members and friends of Himalayan Care Hands visited Mainapokhari in Nepal because of the international efforts to resurrect a maternity clinic for the mountain communities. This clinic is badly needed due to the distressing situation in which young mothers die prematurely due to lack of medical care. The welcoming was accompanied by a great Hindu ceremony where a symbolic first stone was laid at the building site. The ceremony was visited by a lot of interested local residents who’s hope relies on HCH for a realization of the clinic. HCH was proud to announce that the budget required for the foundation has been raised by benevolent foreign and Nepalese supporters. So, within a few weeks the construction works will start. However, for the further construction and medical equipment there still remains a missing amount of Euro 50,000 for which the foundation will do its utmost best to raise that with many actions and activities. In addition, donors can also own a piece of the clinic by buying a name engraved brick that actually will be used in the walls. Or even roll up their sleeves by volunteering in the project. There are already two Dutch midwives intending to give a special training to women of the villages.
