Nepal Flood Update: Vulnerable Populations





Our volunteer health workers in Nepal have been tirelessly working to alleviate illnesses brought by contaminated flood waters. Children and the elderly are particularly vulnerable to fevers and diarrhea which can be perilous to life and long-term health if left untreated.  HealthEd Connect volunteers attend to the sick with simple but crucial medical tools, medicines, and most importantly, they teach villagers how to avoid illness with education about sanitation and water purification.
