Improving Healthcare in Rural Nepal
Join us in empowering future health leaders and transforming medical care in some of the world’s most remote communities
Nepal Emergency Flood Appeal
We respond with medical aid and funding to crisis situations. Our current appeal is for the devastating floods in Nepal.
Scholarships
We empower under-privileged students to serve as doctors, nurses and midwives in their isolated rural communities
Health Projects
We deliver health camps and outreach in remote areas where medical care is desperately needed.
We need your help now
We work in the underdeveloped western region of Nepal.
Our students originate from this area and go on to serve as doctors, nurses and midwives there. By receiving a DFN scholarship, they are empowered to improve healthcare in their own communities.
