For the past eight years, HCWH has collaborated the Health Care Foundation Nepal (HECAF) to build sustainable health care waste management systems in hospitals across one of the world’s most impoverished countries.
In response to last month’s devastating quake, we have established an emergency fund to support HECAF's Health Care Waste Management Program team and the continuation of its green hospitals work. The Skoll Foundation has already pledged $25,000 to this fund as a match. In other words, make a tax-deductible contribution, and your money is immediately doubled! Your contribution will help:
- Provide direct relief for staff who have lost homes and loved ones.
- Keep sustainable healthcare waste management systems running in Nepal.
- Provide disaster relief that builds a green, resilient health care system for the future.
HECAF and HCWH are working overtime to protect public health from the aftermath of this unspeakable disaster.
