In the aftermath of the 2015 earthquake, the Global Shapers Kathmandu Hub identified the healthpost in Tippeni as a focus of rebuilding effort due to that fact the nearest hospital was a 3 hours drive away, and its location in Sindhupalchowk district was at the top list of most-devastated areas due to the Earthquake.

The hub raised more than $100,000 to rebuild the healthpost which provided high quality service delivery to residents of the area, who cannot afford to travel for treatment and also prefered to go there for low-cost high-quality service.

After intensive rounds of schematic reviews, on-site sub-structure assessments, as well as clearing up of the road to the healthpost due to frequent landslides, the healthpost was rebuilt and started serving the nearby communities in full capacity by 2018.

Impact and Goals

• Serve as a provider of low-cost high-quality healthcare for more than 18,000 rural community members in the most-affected area due to the 2015 earthquake.


• Provide access to immediate healthcare facilities saving time and effort for people who would otherwise have to travel long distances, thereby reducing costs, and increasing community safety.


• Annually, the health post provides services more than 18,000 patients from the area. The number including visitors and indirect beneficiaries reaches 36,000 individuals annually.


• Although they are only supposed to treat patients from four Village Development Committees (VDCs) – Bhotenamlang, Lagarche, Thangpaldhap and Banskharka; the facility caters to patients from 10 VDCs (or 90 wards).
