The safety of our teams on remote ear camps is of paramount concerns. Roads in many regions are a work in progress and securing a reliable and suitable vehicle for each trip can be a challenge. HearingNEPAL Program is therefore committed to purchasing a suitable vehicle, that will be available for every ear camp and will also be available for use by Keshab, when needed, for his ear camps in the Kathmandu area.

There is now a growing Cochlear Implant Program in Nepal, with surgery and mapping of processors now available in Kathmandu. All Cochlear Implants must be privately funded, however, without working parts, mapping (fine tuning) cannot be performed and the implant is of no use.
HearingNEPAL Program is working with local Cochlear Implant Services to supply donated spare parts at an affordable price for those who cannot afford to purchase new parts.

Aligned with our philosophy of being of benefit to all sentient beings, is the idea of being of benefit in as many ways as possible.
Acting as delivery agents for the donations of caring gifts that support the spirit as well as the mind and body brings us great joy. While we can purchase similar items, we would rather pass along the pre-loved, which shares from the heart, not just the wallet.
