Education & Health Nepal (EHN)

About us

Education & Health Nepal (EHN), founded in 2010, is a London based charity and a Nepali NGO who work together to help the poorer communities of Nepal. EHN is a volunteer based NGO working with other Nepali NGOs to improve the level of education and health in Nepal.

EHN mission in this world is to make a difference by combining the growing volunteer movement and matching them with placements that support the poorer communities. By working side by side we will learn new ideas and ways of helping from the Western world and adapting them to work in a Nepal, showing both respect to our international volunteers who bring these ideas and the Nepali we are supporting.

Our aim is to use a combination of Western ideas adapted to Nepali life to help the people of Nepal and provide volunteers a truly great experience of Nepali life. Then using the volunteer organisation as a foundation we want to start projects of our own which targets the social problems that need help in the poorer parts of the communities and with your help we can do so.

The objectives of EHN are simple to make a difference to the poorer communities of Nepal. By helping to improve the education and medical standards in these areas through the placement of volunteers, sponsors and donations.

Though medical care and education are our two main goals, we promise to seek out new ideas and ways of making lives better for the people of Nepal through long term, sustainable investment in targeted areas where all our efforts will build over time.
