It is always painful and unbelievable to see how much a family can suffer because of negligence in healthcare. We do not want to blame anyone, but lack of proper knowledge and timely care can be extremely dangerous. Thankfully, a life was saved — but this negligence could have cost a precious life.

Divyans is only 5 months old, from Pandusen, Bajura.

Two months ago, winter was at its harshest. One morning, while Divyans’ mother, Bankala, was cooking, she kept her baby close to the fire so he could feel some warmth. Suddenly, she remembered she needed to wash his trousers. She placed him aside and stepped outside for just a moment.

But she didn’t realize that Divyans was still too close to the fire, and he was wearing nylon socks.

Tragically, the socks caught fire.

When she rushed back into the kitchen, she saw her baby’s foot burning. In panic, she tried to remove the socks, but the burn was so severe that the skin on his tiny toes came off.

She immediately ran to the nearest health post.

The health post assured her they could manage the wound and kept him there for 14 days. But instead of healing, his toes began to rot.

Only then did they realize the injury was beyond their control, and they referred him to the district hospital. The district hospital also failed to manage the wound and sent him to the provincial hospital in Dhangadhi.

But by that time, the wound was already 15–16 days old and had become far more complicated. The doctors told the family that the only option was to take him to Kathmandu.

For a small farming family from a remote village, bringing their baby to Kathmandu was far beyond their reach. With no resources left, they began desperately asking for help.

When we heard about Divyans’ condition through Badimalika Foundation Nepal, we immediately asked them to take the next bus and come to Kathmandu.

We then reached out for support and requested help from Burns Violence Survivors Nepal BVS-Nepal. Without hesitation, they assured us that they would cover all hospital expenses in Kathmandu.

This is where Divyans’ medical journey truly began.

Sadly, his toes had to be amputated immediately.

If he had reached Kathmandu earlier, we might have been able to save his toes. But at least today, we are grateful that his life was saved.

A very special thanks goes to Ms. Pratiksha Giri from BVS Nepal, who immediately accepted our request and helped us save a precious life.

We never expect any gifts from the people we help.
But when they come to you, they always bring something—
something they use every day.

After traveling for three days on a bus, they still carry fresh vegetables for you.
They share the snacks they ate during their journey.
They give you what they grow with their own hands.

This is not a trend or a vibe.
This is love—pure, honest, and deeply human.

When you think big with a clear vision and good intentions, nothing is impossible!!

Nepal is one of the underdeveloped countries in the world, and when it comes to children’s health, the gap in healthcare is huge. We have only one major hospital dedicated to children, which is always overcrowded, and the level of care often falls short of what is needed.

But one man recognized this gap and chose to act on it.

The idea of having one dedicated children’s hospital in each province seemed almost impossible for people like us. However, for a dedicated doctor who had already transformed a poorly managed government hospital into a well-managed one, giving up was never an option.

Dr. Bhagwan Koirala envisioned this project, and today we are witnessing that dream turning into reality.

We are truly glad to have had the opportunity to visit this upcoming hospital and are extremely excited to see its progress. This is not just a hospital for children—it is a beacon of hope for countless newborns and families.

Congratulations to the entire KIOCH team. We were especially delighted to see Ms. Prati Shrestha, Nursing In-Charge of KIOCH. When a team is driven by such dedication and passion, success is always within reach.

When you are involved in social work, your activities should be audited by a government agency. This ensures transparency and allows the work to continue in the future under government rules and regulations.

TeamMeRO, along with government officials from the Social Welfare Council (SWC), conducted an audit of our work over the past three years.

Swamikartika Khabar Rural Municipality is located in western Nepal. The major challenges of this region include food insecurity, malnutrition, poverty, and a lack of basic infrastructure. Quality healthcare facilities are located far from the villages, mainly in Dhangadhi or Nepalgunj, making access extremely difficult for rural families.

Let us share the story of Master Prashant, a 12-year-old boy. When he was just six years old, his right leg gradually started becoming shorter. By the age of ten, he was forced to walk on his toes. Without understanding what was happening to him, he faced neglect and discrimination in his own village.

His mother, Ms. Sajana, was deeply worried about her son. However, she felt helpless—hospitals were far away, and without financial support, traveling such long distances seemed impossible. For a mother, watching her son walk on his toes every day to attend school miles away was heartbreaking.

Prashant is currently studying in Grade 6. The school is only a 30-minute walk from his home for other children, but for Prashant, the same journey takes nearly an hour due to his condition.

Every pain has an end. One fortunate day, Mr. Prakash Singh, a social worker and journalist, visited the village for reporting. He noticed Prashant playing in the courtyard and immediately sensed that something was wrong. He began coordinating with the family and shared Prashant’s condition with us. We advised Mr. Prakash to refer the child to HRDC, a center dedicated to children with physical disabilities.

Prashant underwent leg surgery at HRDC one month ago. After his wound healed, he was transferred to our shelter for physiotherapy. He now receives physiotherapy twice a day. Although the sessions were painful at first, he has gradually started enjoying them.

This transformation is the change we strive to create through our work.
God bless you, Prashant. Keep walking forward—mile by mile.

We have found that in many homes people are using old, second-hand, or low-quality oxygen concentrators without knowing how much oxygen the machine is actually delivering.

Both too much oxygen and too little oxygen in the body can cause serious health problems.

If you want to check whether your oxygen concentrator is working properly, we now have a device to test it accurately.
Please let us know or bring your machine to our center for checking.

Everyone has a dream of a happy family life.
We all work hard so that we can sustain ourselves and our families. Every parent wants to give their children a better life, a better education, and a secure future. Most of us spend our entire earnings thinking about our children’s tomorrow.

The story of Navaraj is not very different from ours.

Navaraj and his wife went to Mumbai, India, with big hopes and small means. Navaraj worked as a security guard, and his wife worked as a housemaid. Life was not easy, but they were happy. Slowly, they even managed to save some money, dreaming of sending their eldest son abroad for higher education.

But life often has different plans for us.

Three months ago, while on duty in a newly constructed building, Navaraj fell from the 4th floor during his patrol. By fate, he landed on his feet instead of his head. He survived the fall—but at a great cost. His leg and spine were badly injured. He was rushed to the hospital and had to undergo major surgeries for both his spine and leg, with metal implants inserted in both areas.

Despite being their employee, the building owner provided only NPR 15,000 for his treatment—an amount that meant almost nothing for such serious surgeries. Navaraj had no choice but to take loans from villagers and relatives to pay the hospital bills.

Unfortunately, this was not the end of his suffering.

Over time, his leg became severely infected. Last month, doctors were left with no option but to amputate his leg. By then, Navaraj had already spent all his savings and taken loans amounting to nearly NPR 1,500,000. Along with losing his leg, he also lost his lifelong dream of building a better future for his children—especially his eldest son.

After the amputation, Navaraj could no longer continue his life in India. He called his eldest son and returned to Nepal. His wife remains in India, still working as a housemaid, trying to support the family from afar.

Once back in Nepal, Navaraj sought treatment at Dhangadhi Hospital. However, despite a week of regular wound care, his condition worsened due to severe infection. Doctors advised immediate referral to Kathmandu.

For Navaraj, traveling to Kathmandu was not a small or easy decision—it felt almost impossible. But with the generous support of Mr. Prakash Singh, we were able to make their journey to Kathmandu possible.

We have already consulted with Orthopedic Doctor Janith Singh, who has kindly assured us that he will provide Navaraj’s treatment at the minimum possible cost.

Navaraj’s story is a reminder of how fragile life can be—and how quickly dreams can change. Today, he needs not only medical care, but compassion, support, and hope.

Humanity Has No Boundaries

Chandani is only 16 years old.
An age meant for school, laughter, and dreams—not pain and suffering.

Originally from Bihar, India, Chandani has been living in eastern Nepal with her parents for many years and is studying in Grade 6 at a local school. Despite extreme poverty, she was a cheerful child who loved learning and dreamed of a better future.

Three months ago, she traveled to India with her family to celebrate the Chhath festival. What should have been a joyful time turned into a nightmare. In her own village, someone attempted to burn her alive. By sheer luck, Chandani survived—but with severe burns covering much of her body.

She was taken to a local hospital, but her family could not afford the treatment she urgently needed. With no other choice, they returned to Nepal, carrying not only a wounded child but also unimaginable fear and helplessness.

Hope appeared in the form of Mrs. Mina Rimal, a kind-hearted woman who knew the family. She opened her home to Chandani and cared for her wounds day and night for nearly a month. Sadly, instead of healing, the wounds became infected, and Chandani’s condition worsened.

Refusing to give up, Mrs. Mina sought help wherever she could and finally reached DHERSEC Nepal in Dharan. Mr. Sunil Khadka from DHERSEC shared Chandani’s story with us. After hearing it, we could not turn away.

Even without sufficient funds, we requested that Chandani be sent to Kathmandu. Today, she is under the care of a dedicated team of plastic surgeons led by Dr. Surendra Basnet. According to the doctors, Chandani will need multiple reconstructive surgeries—procedures that require time, patience, and significant financial support.

Through this post, we appeal to your humanity.
Even a small contribution can help relieve Chandani’s pain and bring her closer to healing.

Please know this clearly: lack of money will never stop her treatment. We have already requested the hospital to begin her care, and we are deeply grateful that they have agreed.

Let us stand together for Chandani.
Let us choose compassion.
Let us prove that humanity truly has no boundaries.

He may be in pain today, but one day he will understand that this pain was part of his healing.”

Sushant is an 11-year-old boy from Lamjung.
One of our good friends, Mr.Lee Williams , shared Sagun’s story with us. After learning about his condition, we couldn’t hold ourselves back and decided to bring him to Kathmandu for further care.

His surgery is schedule for tomorrow and we are hopeful for a successful outcome and a smooth recovery. We extend our heartfelt thanks to Roads to Rehab Nepal for generously sponsoring his surgery.

We wish Sagun a very fast and complete recovery.

What will you do when an emergency happens right in front of you?
Will you freeze, or will you tackle the situation with your knowledge and skills?

It is always better to prepare yourself before any disaster strikes.

In our everyday lives, we may encounter many unexpected and frightening situations. Some can be critical, where little can be done, while others may seem small—but due to a lack of knowledge, they can turn into major disasters.

Being prepared can help save a life or prevent a situation from becoming worse.

We are continuously conducting emergency response classes to build this readiness.
Here are some glimpses from our recent session!
Special thanks goes to :

Medical emergencies can happen to anyone—at any time.

Min Bahadur, the Ward Chairman of Budiganga Municipality–9, is someone who has always stood for his people. Through our work, we have supported more than 10 patients from his ward, including two survivors of bear attacks and others with multiple serious injuries. In every case, Min Bahadur ensured timely government documentation so that these patients could receive treatment in Kathmandu.

Over the past few months, Min Bahadur himself has been struggling with severe high blood pressure. Even while unwell, he never stopped serving his community. When his condition worsened, he went to Dhangadhi for treatment. As the hospital there could not control his blood pressure, he was referred to Kathmandu for further care.

When we learned that he was in Kathmandu for treatment, we were honored to welcome him to our shelter. He is currently receiving treatment at TUTH Hospital. Despite his own health challenges, his dedication to his people remains unchanged. From our shelter, he continues to manage his responsibilities and serve his community.

This is a reminder that those who care for others also need care—and that true leadership continues even in times of personal hardship.
