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
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.
Disaster Relief and Appeals
We respond with medical aid and funding to crisis situations in Nepal
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.
