Renewable Energy for Improving Rural Healthcare

Hi everyone,

We’re back with a quick and exciting update on how things are going with our project in Nepal—and how your support is making a real difference.

Over the past few months, we’ve been helping rural families and health clinics in the Surkhet District access solar lighting, fans, vaccine fridges, and cleaner cookstoves. It might not sound fancy, but it’s been life-changing. These upgrades mean fewer harmful fumes in homes, clinics that can store vaccines safely, and people who can finally breathe easier—literally.

Thanks to your generosity, we’ve raised just over $2,600 USD so far. It’s helping us take small but meaningful steps to tackle climate change and improve people’s health at the same time.

In other exciting news, more hospitals in Nepal are getting involved. A team on the ground has been training healthcare workers to manage waste better, use energy wisely, and make sure their clinics are climate-smart. No more open burning of hospital waste, and a lot more focus on clean water, sanitation, and energy systems that keep working even during blackouts.

One workshop even focused on something we don’t talk about enough—how climate change affects mental health, especially in rural communities. It's such an important angle, and it’s great to see professionals getting tools to respond.

All this just goes to show: your support is part of something bigger. Bit by bit, we’re building stronger, cleaner, more resilient health systems.

Now, if you're thinking of giving again, GlobalGiving's Bonus Day is coming up on July 16–17. During that 24-hour window (from 10 AM EDT on the 16th to 10 AM EDT on the 17th), donations of $100 or more are matched—so your impact can go even further!

Thanks so much for sticking with us on this journey. Let’s keep the momentum going and bring light, health, and hope to even more families.
