Hereford City Rotary is raising £10,000 to support Project Hospice Nepal. The project aligns well with Rotary's areas of focus which include disease prevention and treatment.

Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page.

Twenty-five years ago, four friends had a vision to provide palliative care for terminally ill patients in Nepal, and they built an eight-bed hospice in Kathmandu. This is how Hospice Nepal started. The need for palliative care has grown over those twenty-five years but the vision remains the same, to ensure that everyone in the country, whether in rural or urban settings, has access to the care and expertise to allow the last phase of life to be lived well, with suffering reduced and dignity maintained. Hospice Nepal works closely with government and non-government organisations across the country to help make this vision a reality.

A new facility for Hospice Nepal in Kathmandu will provide expanded bed capacity (20-24 beds). It will have children's palliative care and be a base for rural and urban community outreach. It will become a centre of educational excellence for the country and for the region. Land has been secured and plans drawn up for construction and fit out of the new Hospice.

All donations will be used in connection with building a new Hospice Nepal and supporting its associated programmes such as children's palliative care, rural and community care, medical education and the implementation of the National Plan for Palliative Care.

This is a Rotary led project with Rotary Clubs in Nepal and Fairfield Rotary Club in New Zealand being very active in their support and fundraising, and driven in the United Kingdom by Hereford City Rotary Club, supported by an international team with a strong medical background from across the globe.

Right now, Project Hospice Nepal has fundraised enough for the land purchase and building work has started, but now we urgently need your help to source funds for the fit out of the facilities. We are seeking to raise £10,000 as soon as possible, which will enable us to leverage other grant funding through Rotary International and other sources.
