High School Agricultural Lab Project: An agricultural lab for the Janakalyn Secondary School
in Palung, Makwanpur, is under construction. The lab is being equipped for a new vocational
education program, the Junior Technical Assistance program, which teaches students about
modern agricultural practices.
Funding was provided for the following
projects in 2017, with anticipated
completion dates in 2018: Dolakha Community Center Project:
A community center and cooperative meeting
house in Chipchipe, Dolakha, is underway.
Heated Birthing Room Project: While the
existing building at the Palung Hospital
expansion has a birthing room, the 15-foot
ceilings, limited insulation, and lack of heating
system create a cold environment that can be
dangerous for newborns. A heating system
for the prenatal and postnatal rooms of
the hospital and a false ceiling to improve
insulation is being installed. Primary Health Care Center: A health
care center in the community of Rasnalu,
Ramechhap, will provide immediate accessible
medical care to community members who
would have had to travel at least two hours,
with limited public transportation options, to
reach the nearest medical facility. This health
care center will benefit at least 3,000 families,
or 15,000 individuals.
Somaliland
Hospital Project: A large hospital
complex is being built to provide
access to medical care for the Sanaag
Region of Somaliland (primary
frankincense harvesting area).
Drought Relief Project: To support those in Somaliland affected by the terrible drought in
2017, funding was provided to prepare and distribute emergency food supplies to the hardest
hit dōTERRA Cō-Impact Sourcing® areas.
Primary Health Care Center Expansion: A health care center in the community of Palung,
