With the support of the Mountain Fund there are now two clinics where once no medical services were available. Over 10,000 families have access to primary health care.
Mountain Fund has returned to Kathmandu following two weeks in the
Rasuwa District of Nepal. Located a few kilometers from the border
with Tibet the Rasuwa District is home to dozens of small Tamang
Villages. The Tamang are believed to have migrated from Mongolia via
Tibet hundreds of years ago and settled in this remote mountain area. Life
in many Tamang Villages carries on much as it has for centuries. For many
of the villages subsistence farming is their way of life and these rugged,
inventive people have learned how to survive on the steep hillsides of the
northern Rasuwa District.
