Women living in rural Nepal with limited access to basic health information. How will my support help? This project will be set up by a local charity dedicated to spreading health awareness amongst women in rural Nepal. The 15 minute radio programme will run for 52 weeks and provide a unique opportunity for this group to reach a wide audience. They hope to educate on crucial topics relating to health issues faced by women living in rural areas. Due to limited access to information and a low level of education, women living in rural Nepal are often lacking the basic health awareness needed to keep their families healthy and safe. This project could reach women in the furthest corners of Nepal, spreading invaluable information that could prevent many of the health problems currently being faced and save lives.
