Project Description Region: Asia Country: Nepal Location: Kavre Total Budget: $40,000 Area of Focus: Disease prevention and treatment Panchkhal and Banepa Municipal Hospitals currently lack reliable power backup, leaving critical services vulnerable during outages. Panchkhal Municipal Hospital and Banepa Municipal Hospital of Nepal currently lack a reliable power backup system, creating serious challenges for the delivery of essential healthcare services. Power interruptions affect emergency care, laboratory services, lighting, medical equipment, vaccine storage, and other critical hospital operations, resulting in delays in treatment and increased risk to patients. This project has been identified to address the urgent need for a stable and sustainable electricity supply in both hospitals. The project will install a solar power backup system with battery storage to ensure uninterrupted electricity during outages and improve the continuity of patient care. Project funds will be used for solar panels, batteries, inverters, wiring, installation, testing, and staff training. Club members will be actively involved in project planning, coordination with hospital authorities, fundraising, monitoring implementation, and supporting the handover and follow-up process. The project is expected to be completed in phases, including assessment, procurement, installation, commissioning, and training, over a period of several months. All the project funds will be used in purchasing the solar backup equipment and training. Rotary Club member will be involved during project implementation and monitoring etc. Primary Host Partner District: 3292 Rotary Club of: Dhulikhel Shikhalapur Primary Contact: Deepa Shrestha Email: deepa.rotarydhs@gmail.com Primary International Partner We are looking for a Club partner.

This fee does not appear in the financials above because it does not apply if the funds are sent directly to the project account (without going through TRF, and therefore without Paul Harris credit). Clubs sending their cash contribution to TRF must be aware they will have to send an additional 5%.
