As one of the world s poorest countries, Nepal faces many challenges to public health. In the rural communities, the government offers few facilities to support the health of its people. Illiterate, many people do not have the means to change their health, sanitation and hygiene practices and remain unaware of the major health risks and how to minimize them. Nepal also lacks efficient mental health services with limited diagnostic, treatment and availability of human resources to address mental health issues. This project will help promote healthy lifestyle in terms of physical and mental being.
