Indra and her grandson Saurav live in Chainpur, a rural village in the Dhading District of Nepal. This area was at the epicenter of the 7.8 magnitude earthquake that hit the country in 2015. The area is still recovering from the earthquake, which left thousands of the community in Nepal without a home, exposed to the elements, and without access to clean water or hygiene supplies.

Indra and Saurav are slowly putting their lives back together. But, they wanted to help others in their community in Nepal too. Together, the two worked to distribute hygiene kits throughout their community.

Indra, along with her fellow community members, received special training on how to stay healthy as the country rebuilds from the earthquake. Thanks to this training, she recognizes the importance of good hygiene.

Changing her community

For Indra, helping her community in Nepal heal has a personal connection. She became a widow when her husband died during the quake. Despite this tragedy, she worked hard to serve as an inspiration and a catalyst to bring health to her community in Nepal by using tools and training from Medical Teams International.

She’s grateful for the kits that Medical Teams distributes in her community in Nepal. Women, like Indra, and their children stay healthy. Despite immense loss, Indra is an inspiring example of human resilience. We are honored to serve women like her around the world. Thank you for helping Indra, her grandson, and her community to have healthier lives.
