Rustic Volunteer and Travel
 
Trekking in Nepal

Health Project
(Trip code: NPL3

An overwhelming number of Nepalese never receive proper health care. Many of the state's health centers, established to provide services in rural areas, are inadequately staffed. The local hospitals which are located in the outer city areas and villages urgently need volunteers and help.

Rustic Volunteer Travel gathers compassionate volunteers/travelers groups to help alleviate this problem in an effort to boost the quality of health care for disadvantaged Nepali people. Your role as a volunteer can make a difference in the lives of sick children and adults, many who dream of being able to properly take care of themselves. Volunteering in Nepal Health Project is an enriching and life changing experience for our volunteers.
