Two starting points
Specific activities under each pillar will be added as programs take shape. These two needs already have a clear, practical response.
Food security in Sudurpashchim's hills and mountains
Subsistence farming communities in remote villages in Nepal, particularly in the hills and mountains of Sudurpashchim Province, produce enough food for less than six months a year.
Help keep rural communities intact
Scholarships, stronger farms, and local enterprise depend on people who choose to give.
