Our Journey Since 2012
What began as a vision to provide dignified mental healthcare in Nepal has grown from our original 30-bed facility to our current 100-bed capacity across two locations in Danchhi and Sankharapur. We have remained steadfast in our commitment to healing beautiful minds and preventing lifelong mental disabilities.
Every day, we witness the transformative power of compassionate care, and every recovery story strengthens our resolve to continue this vital work in promoting psychosocial and community-based mental health care.
