On 6th July 2008, six enthusiasts will be running in London to raise funds for Help Nepal Network!

Paras Joshi, Niraj Shrestha, Suraj Prasai, Nitima Shrestha, Sushila Prasai and Tripti Joshi will participate in the ‘British 10k Run’  to help raise funds for ‘Helping Hands Community Health Clinic’ in Khanigaun, Parbat district in Nepal.

Your contributions will enable us to provide affordable health services for those living in poor conditions and who do not have the means to access better services. Funds raised from the run will be used to buy proper equipments and expand the clinic’s health laboratory to provide better health services to patients. Further project details can be found below.

We therefore ask you to give a little and live a little as you can be assured that your donation will be used to buy equipment from the list below.

Please use the secure link below to donate online.

Helping Hands Community Health Clinic in Khanigaun - 2, Parbat, Nepal

This health post was established in 2005 and is providing lifesaving treatment to community of 100,000. It is desperately in need of much needed laboratory equipment – basic items that are taken for granted even in Kathmandu.

Below is a list of the equipment that the funds raised by the Runners will buy. The equipment will enable the medical personnel in the health post perform vital blood tests to guide therapy.

In order to be self sustaining, the health post has already set up a system of membership whereby donors pay towards an annual cost.  This project is simply to enable the health post to purchase equipment that it would not be otherwise able to afford.
