Health, education, and community-led development in Kalikot, Nepal
Nepal’s Kalikot District is a remote patchwork of villages. Difficult topography, impacts of Nepal’s civil war, and meager economic opportunity make it one of the most impoverished and forgotten regions in all of Nepal.
Co-founded by a native of the village where we are based, we build local leadership and support health and education for those who need it most.
