Chay Ya Nepal is a non-profit organization, working closely with mountain communities in the fields of Rebuilding, Health Care, Education, Women's Empowerment and Livelihood. During a trekking tour in the Himalayas, Austrian Sabine met the Nepalese Kamal. Sabine was dismayed about the living conditions of the people in the remote mountain villages of Nepal and Kamal has long had the desire to help
his people. What began as a private relief effort at a kitchen table in Kathmandu in 2007, is today an established non-governmental organization. According to this motto, Sabine and Kamal have continuously expanded their network and reach so that in 2015 Chay Ya Nepal was founded. What started out as small aid projects, for example supplying schools with teaching materials and health camps with hygiene training, has now developed into holistic, large-scale projects. The self-determination of the people affected as well as the sustainability of the programs are of utmost importance to us. All projects involve the local people and we work with local governments and village communities to ensure that what is needed will be supplied. So far, 23 schools, nine health and birthing stations, three school gardens, one waste separation, and one women's project in remote areas have been successfully implemented. The tragic earthquake in 2015 has left terrible traces, many livelihoods were destroyed. Basic needs like food, clean water, and medical care could hardly be supplied. Chay Ya reacted quickly and was able to ensure the supply of over 3000 families. This experience led to new areas of responsibility for our organization as planned projects were now complemented by humanitarian emergency aid. It is through these established structures that Chay Ya was able to respond quickly to the challenges of the Covid-19 pandemic. In total, Chay Ya fundraised over 100 000 Euros to provide help efficiently and quickly. Thanks to the support of many people, we are able to continue our work, each individual makes a difference. We would like to thank all our sponsors and donors and look forward to working with them in the future - according to our motto: Let's Do It!
