WHERE WE WORK

WHERE WE WORK:

Help Rural Nepal has been supporting local communities in the remote Dhading district of Nepal - which is approximately half way between Kathmandu and Pokhara - since 2009.  We have primarily focused on health and education projects.

Our current projects are in the village areas of Sukaura, Khahare, Salyantar, Massar.

These villages can only be reached by jeep or a long walk following a journey on two local busses.  Travelling time from Kathmandu varies between 6 and 10 hours depending on the states of the roads and weather conditions.  Often landslides damage the roads making them impassable.
