Community Action Nepal is delivering life-changing health, education and livelihood programmes to remote mountain communities in Nepal.
The charity works in partnership with local Himalayan mountain communities to help them raise their standards of living whilst strengthening and protecting indigenous cultures and traditions.
They deliver programmes where support is needed most. The charity responds to requests for support after receiving petitions for help from communities themselves. The local residents then play a key role in the planning, construction and implementation of health, education and livelihood provision.
Community Action Nepal promotes local ownership of their programmes, or ensures a smooth handover to the Nepal government, so that they become a stepping stone on the path to development, and not the path itself.
These mountain communities, which the charity supports, are especially vulnerable to the impact of natural disasters, climate change and global health emergencies. Building resilience is vital for these communities to become more self-reliant or less dependent on international aid.
