Information on many of these projects can be 
found under Humanitarian Projects and Affiliations. 



GIRL-CHILD SCHOLARSHIPS

Goal: $25-50/year/girl	(grades 1-12)

This ongoing program can benefit an unlimited number of 
girls.  Most Nepali girls have to drop out of school by 
the third grade to perform manual labor at home for the 
family’s survival.  Young girls as far away as the Far 
West District of Baitadi have benefited from this program.
100% of your donation goes directly to a girl’s education.  


HHN SCHOLARSHIP FOR 
THE UNDERPRIVILEDGED

Goal: $1,200/year 	(higher education)

This scholarship benefits traditional low caste and 
female students.  For example, first recipient Som 
Bahadur Bohora is a Dalit — Untouchable Caste - who has 
a burning desire to obtain an education and return to 
his village to help others.  Som attends Tribhuvan 
University’s Institute of Forestry in Pokhara, and 
plans to work in the field of Community Forestry when 
he graduates in 2007.  Som maintains top grades and 
is a wonderful example to other Dalits of what can 
be accomplished through diligence and hard work.  
This scholarship may be awarded in August or September 
each year.


HHN/RBS BOOK PROJECT
Goal: unlimited. Donations needed to ship requested books.

When HHN receives book  donations, that’s only half the project.  
Money is needed to send the requested books to Nepal.  Volunteers 
provide the boxes, plastic bags, labels, and manual labor to pack and 
ship the books.  Please contact HHN regarding book donations 
and shipping details.  

MEDICAL EMERGENCY FUND FOR NEPAL
Goal: $1million minimum

Interest from this fund provides life-saving surgeries and procedures for indigent 
Nepalis with no other hope.  HHN receives professional fund management as a donation.

NATIONAL KIDNEY FOUNDATION
Goal: $50/treatment, unlimited

Kathmandu has a high standard dialysis center.  The cost for one dialysis treatment is 
approximately $50, which is 25% of what many Nepalis make in a year.  Sponsors are 
needed to facilitate this vital process, especially for women.

NEPAL HISTORIC PHOTOGRAPH PRESERVATION PROJECT

HHN has been asked to assist with the preservation of historic photographs dating 
as far back as the late 1800s.  They are the images of three photographers in the 
Chitrakar family and are a one-of-a-kind collection of historical and cultural significance.

SPECIAL PROJECTS

Unique one-time-need projects often come to HHN for assistance.  The current Nepal 
Historic Photograph Preservation Project is an example of a Special Project, as is 
providing blankets for Taplejung District Hospital (see Success Stories). 

TILATHI ENT HOSPITAL

Equipment donations and funding are needed.  Valuable family land has been donated by 
a Nepali ENT surgeon for this project to provide a first-ever ENT hospital in eastern 
Nepal.  Please write for details.
