Together, we continue to live our motto, "We Serve" 🦁
In countries where access to healthcare services remains a pressing challenge for many underserved communities, Lions Club of Dharan Ghopa United took an innovative & compassionate step forward. Since July 2025, we have been leading a groundbreaking initiative titled "Aarogya: Move For Health", a mobile health clinic model designed to bring free screening, diagnosis, consultation & treatment directly to the doorsteps of the needy.
What started from a small village in eastern Nepal as a vision to make healthcare accessible, affordable & immediate has grown into a sustained series of "outreach medical camps" & "telemedicine" spanning beyond borders. The project reflects the spirit of young Lions, Leo-Lions, Leos & Cubs, who have dedicated their time & expertise to deliver quality medical services to those who need it most.
A Unique Healthcare Service at Doors Model:
The Aarogya project stands out for its unconventional & highly effective approach. Instead of waiting for patients to travel long distances to hospitals, often impossible due to poverty, illness or stigma, the mobile clinic team travels to community settlements, rescue centers & vulnerable clusters OR delivers health service through telemedicine, ensuring healthcare is brought to the doorstep of every individual.
These camps are organized with the support of medical professionals, budding healthcare workers & volunteers who contribute their skills and compassion in diagnosing illnesses, offering consultations, providing counseling & distributing medicines, all completely free of cost.
Service-Led Youth Leadership:
Project Aarogya has also become a powerful platform for youth-driven service leadership. Young Lions, Leo-Lions, Leos & Cubs have played a pivotal role in every camp, from organizing logistics & mobilizing communities to assisting medical teams and ensuring continuity of care.
The initiative has fostered a new generation of service-minded healthcare volunteers who understand not only the medical needs but also the emotional & social dimensions of community health.
Impact & Community Response:
Over the months, residents, caretakers & local stakeholders have expressed deep gratitude to Lions Family for the consistent support offered by the project. Many families who once struggled to find medical care for their loved ones now see visible improvement in their health & well-being.
The heartfelt testimonial of a caretaker sums up the essence of the project: "People here were struggling with untreated health issues. The Lions’ initiative has brought hope to every doorstep. We believe everyone will soon be well again."
Several beneficiaries, previously neglected & living without care, have shown remarkable improvement, offering hope for rehabilitation & reintegration into society.
Strengthening Club Membership:
The Aarogya project has energized & expanded the club’s membership by giving young Lions, Leo-Lions, Leos & Cubs a meaningful platform to serve directly in the community, aiding our Mission 1.5. Seeing real impact at the doorstep of the needy has inspired prospects to join as new members & motivated existing members to stay actively involved, creating a stronger, more committed & service-driven team.
Marketing Lions International:
By taking free healthcare into underserved neighborhoods, the project has powerfully showcased the "We Serve" spirit of Lions International. Every camp has acted as a live demonstration of Lions’ commitment to humanity, creating strong visibility, trust & goodwill. As a result, the name “Lions” is increasingly recognized as a symbol of hope, service & compassion in the community.
Vision Ahead:
Our project aims to deliver timely medical intervention, increase access & improve the quality of life of marginalized populations. The long-term goal is not only treatment but also awareness, early detection & community empowerment. Aarogya is our promise to ensure no one is left behind due to illness or lack of access. We aim to reach every needy household with dignity, compassion and hope.
Because when Lions unite, our good goes further; we care, we serve, and we accomplish. Guided by the belief to lead to serve and serve to lead, we continue to roar forward through knowledge, collaboration, and compassion, knowing that true leadership lies in service. Through our efforts as family members of Lions Clubs International and with the support of our Lions Clubs International Foundation (LCIF), we inspire change, uplift communities, and create a lasting legacy of compassion and action. Together, we inspire better health. Together, we serve our community. Together, we make the world a better place. 🦁💛
