Who We Are?

Health and education are the main wealth of people. As a citizen they should enjoy the basic health and education from the state. However, all the people have no equal access to the basic services. Marginalized people; especially the disables, neglected, poor and children are usually excluded from attaining health services and quality education.
In addition, people in the rural areas are not aware of their rights. They need to be told about their rights, as well as responsibilities. Knowledge about their rights enhances them to feel their responsibility as well which is crucial for nation building. Due to widespread disparity, exclusion and discrimination still hovering in the remote areas, there is a requisite to make them aware on these areas. In addition, they need awareness in health, hygiene, balanced diet, gender and inclusion so that their lives would become better. And they will be able to live a quality life.
Due to population increase, resources are not adequate to all the people of the community. The havoc pattern of resource consumption has led to actively degradation of natural resources. It has led the rural people towards non availability of natural resources, environmental degradation, thereby making them more vulnerable to natural calamities.
Although, Nepal holds enormous possibility in tourism, its benefit has always clustered to the rich people. Most of the income earned in the country goes to the investors and middlemen so that the benefit never trickles down to the poor. Those people, in the areas of tourist attraction can reap some benefit for them. This could be an instrument to escape out of the widespread poverty they’re living with.
In order to address the aforementioned problems, Sherpa healthcare Nepal was established 2012. The organization is not-for-profit, non aligned, and nongovernmental project.
