An Endless Treck
The world celebrates those mountain climbers who summit the dangerous peaks of Nepal and live to tell about it. But farther down the Himalayan slopes, a lesser-known group of hikers faces a life-and-death struggle of their own. I'm talking about the expectant mothers of Nepal, home to one of the world's highest maternal mortality rates. Women in labor sometimes walk steep footpaths for hours or bounce along rough roads in crowded buses before reaching the closest health clinic in serious condition. They hope their journey ends with quality health care. But too often they arrive at clinics with leaky roofs, rusted beds and a lack of basic supplies.
That's where the Imagine This! team can help. We challenge you to renovate and fully equip a struggling health clinic in Nepal, transforming it into a place that comforts mothers and prepares the workers caring for them.
The pregnant women who conquer alpine hazards every day aren't asking for a hero's welcome. But they deserve a dignified place to fight for their lives and those of the next generation.

Hey everyone - I would love to help out with this project.
My company is dedicated to philanthropic work for women organizations and I'm interested in collaborating with the team here. We donate 10% of our sales to women organizations on a continuous basis so we could specifically help by:
- dedicate a fundraising event for this project - we have an e-commerce site and team to help create & support this event to raise money
- we could also provide basic personal care supplies to the proposed health clinic (shampoos, cleansers, lotions, toiletries)
Are there any recent activities with this project? I'm new here and not sure if I'm not looking at the right place. Please keep me in the loop.
