All families who have a child enrolled in Kopila Valley School are active participants of the health
and wellness program. Due to the nature of our selection process, many of our students are
orphaned, living in temporary or broken family units, an important differentiator that must be
considered in our approach for holistic support. Most services are targeted towards the student
themselves. However our social workers conduct home visits with guardians informally and
formally through the Family Development Program
Target Demographic
Disease and malnutrition are
widespread in Nepal’s remote
regions. The line between life and
death is often razor-thin—what may
be a simple diagnosis could mean
the difference between life and
death, or it may be missed entirely.
Health, sanitation, and education
go together. Many health issues
can be prevented through proper
education and better habits. Our
clinic offers free over-the-counter
basic services and referrals to
specialists to help tackle larger
health issues.
Our health services are
comprehensive of the whole
patient and include routine
medicine, dental care, mental
health, and social wellbeing.
