NEPAL 2010

Project Compassion is excited to work again with Sundar & Sareeta Thapa in Pokhara Nepal. Sundar heads Evangelical Fellowship of Nepal, and he and his wife, Sareeta, operate a Bible school to train future Christian leaders.

Nepal is a country of amazing extremes. There are the world’s highest mountains towering above populated valleys and forested plains in which tigers and rhinoceros live. It has a population of more that 27 million, made of different races and tribes, living in different regions wearing different costumes and speaking different languages and dialects. Hinduism and Buddhism constitute the two major religions of Nepal. Muslims form the third largest religious group. Christians only count for less than 2% of the populations. Nepal is one of the world’s poorest nations, with 42% of the population living below the poverty line, the average person people makes about $3.00 per day. They only have 2 hospital beds for every 10,000 people. Their healthy life expectancy is only 51 years old. Only 19% of the women have skilled health personnel delivering their babies. PC will be setting up clinics four days in villages around Pokhara to show the love and compassion of God to the Nepalis people.
