If you are looking to support a worthy cause, Nepal Pain Relief is currently seeking sustainable long term funding sources for our...
Our mission is to bring long lasting, sustainable pain relief to the impoverished people of the Dolakha region of Nepal. Through the work of our international Chinese medicine volunteers we offer physical, mental and emotional pain relief services through acupuncture, massage and Chinese manual therapies.
We aim our efforts at local families who were displaced by the 2015 earthquakes and subsequent avalanches and monsoons, specifically those suffering from chronic pain. We aim to provide training in basic pain relief techniques for community based, sustainable pain relief services integrated into local health services and community centres.
Your donation will help us provide accommodation, food and locals costs for volunteers to bring relief to the most in need, while also providing local salaries for support staff such as translators and projects managers.
2022 is an exciting year for NPR!!
After a long break during COVID we are finally able to restart our project in Charikot and continue to bringing pain relief services to the local region. This year NPR will be working alongside The Athens College of East Asian Medicine to expand the project to six volunteers and one supervisor for a full six weeks.
We are working hard at NPR to raise enough funds to send six volunteers and one supervisor to Nepal in November, to do this we are going to need to expand the clinic capacity from three beds to six. We are also hiring more local translators and support staff to make sure all aspect run smoothly.
A new GOFUNDME page has been launched to reach more donors and hopefully hit our target of 15,000 Euros.
New partnerships have been established with two local hotels, Hotel Yambu in Kathmanduand Charikot Panorama Resort in Charikot, who have been so generous in offering NPR volunteers a much lower rate for their stay. This means our funding can go further and translates directly into more free treatments being performed – Thank you Hotel Yambu and Panorama Resort!
