What's Happening

While potable water is available in most areas in Nepal, many people still face three challenges: access, quality, and affordability. For rural areas, the cost of building and maintaining clean water sources can be prohibitive. Without private water taps in homes, people are forced to travel to public taps to fetch water. This impacts women in particular as they spend significant amounts of time collecting and transporting drinking water.

Aware of the need for dependable clean water in doTERRA Wintergreen sourcing areas in Nepal, doTERRA Healing Hands partnered with CHOICE Humanitarian to provide a solution. Now two villages have easy access to affordable, safe drinking water with over 200 homes receiving private water connections. Additionally, reservoirs were constructed, increasing available water in the area and further improving access. These projects are not the first time doTERRA Healing Hands and CHOICE Nepal have partnered to provide clean water. Together we are truly empowering Nepalese communities to be healthy, safe, and self-reliant.
