Pro Nepal EO introduces itself

Who are we? What do we do?

Pro Nepal EO is a full voluntary organisation with the aim of improving the hard living conditions and the poverty which the population in Nepal must endure.

In February 2021, it was recognised as a legal entity under private law and registered in the respective provincial register under number 731.

We are a small group of families living in South Tyrol who spend part of our leisure time in carrying out humanitarian projects in Nepal.

Help and support us in order to help!

History

of ProNepal

Pro Nepal was founded in 2004 due to the initiative of the lawyer Helene Egger Matscher from Meran, Italy, after a journey in Nepal. Many founding members are South-Tyrolean families who adopted children in Nepal.

The association must face many problems and challenges related to poor hygiene, education and living conditions. Because of the poor hygienic conditions and malnutrition, there is high infant mortality due to the lack of medical services, health centres, medicines and competent staff which create some of the main problems.

In the isolated areas and villages, a high percentage of illiteracy exists. The children of many families are forced to work in the fields and in their houses due to the financial difficulties which deprive them of a good education.

Many families live in shanties, built with clay or wood with a thatched roof and an earthen floor, often without windows and chimneys. Access to clean drinking water, bathroom facilities, electricity and waste disposal are available to very few families.
