GLOBAL GIVING CROWDFUNDING CAMPAIGN IS LIVE
GLOBAL GIVING ACCELERATOR 11– 29 September 2017
Make a difference to healthcare in rural Nepal
WHAT are we asking for?
We are currently seeking donations specifically to help our first graduated doctor Lalit begin postgraduate training, to refine his skills and knowledge enough to make a real difference to the healthcare of villagers in rural Nepal. We are looking to raise at least £4,000 between 11 –29 September 2017 as part of the Global Giving Accelerator crowdfunding campaign.
WHY does Lalit need your help?
Lalit is an excellent doctor committed to rural healthcare, himself coming from an impoverished background, but he needs more training. With few hospitals in the remotest part of the country, 90% of rural hospitals in Nepal have no consultant doctors. People living in these inaccessible regions deserve the same healthcare as those in cities and will benefit hugely from being able to access healthcare in their villages rather than walking 9 days to the nearest health post. Lalit needs postgraduate medical training to bring about change, but with doctors’ pay in Nepal lowest amongst Asian countries, and a three-year postgraduate medical course costing £40,000, he cannot afford further training without OUR help. His education could save thousands of lives.
