With Direct Relief’s Nepal Earthquake 2015 funds mostly spent, they had enough funds remaining to support only one additional project. Therefore, the organisation collectively chose to support the Mountain Heart Nepal hospital project over a few other strong candidates leading to the establishment of Siddhasthali Rural Community Hospital.
To date, Direct Relief has provided medical donations with a wholesale value of over $4 million USD and cash support of $500,000 USD to Mountain Heart Nepal and the hospital.
