Our Projects
Health
The rural areas of Nepal face various health challenges due to poor nutrition, inadequate shelter, limited access to medical care, and extreme poverty. To address this, MTH is dedicated to providing quality healthcare services to those in need. MTH’s volunteers and the local government of northern Gorkha work together to fulfill this commitment. The MTH’s ultimate goal is to ensure everyone has access to the quality healthcare they need and that no one dies without treatment.
Financial
MTH offers financial assistance to marginalized, indigenous, and rural tribal communities in Nepal to help offset the cost of medical treatment in government hospitals. This support is given based on the recommendations of local governments and volunteers of MTH.
Education
Education is the key to holistic community development. Therefore, MTH is working hard to provide financial aid in order to assist the marginalized, indigenous, and tribal youth from northern Gorkha to pursue quality education. MTH does not discriminate and seeks to help everyone as able, regardless of their background, race, or caste.
Income-Generating Activities
Due to the limited infrastructure in Nepal, unemployment is an ongoing challenge. With few jobs available, most people are left to farming simply to survive. This reality has forced many of the healthy villagers to leave Nepal to work in Gulf countries, leaving behind the elderly or sick in an economy with virtually no employment opportunities.
Support for Community Center
Community Centers are built for people to gather and discuss their interests, solve problems, and participate in social activities. Community building is of utmost importance in the development of cultural and social welfare services. Unfortunately, community centers are scarce in the far-northern Gorkha region.
Relief Activities
MTH offers relief assistance to households impacted by disasters, such as floods, fires, landslides, and lightning strikes. Relief is provided, as able, at the request or recommendation of local governments of northern Gorkha or MTH volunteers. This program aims to help families recover their daily needs following such emergencies.
Zion Kunja
MTH has identified a concerning trend of sick individuals and families from the remote northern region of Gorkha. This sickness has also resulted in those from Nepal’s rural, northern regions becoming stranded in Kathmandu after visiting for medical treatment.
