Many Nepalese people travel to neighboring India for more work opportunities and higher wages. COVID19 led to nationwide shutdowns in India, leaving these Nepalese workers unemployed and homeless. The Indian government agreed to bus over 100,000 Nepalese migrant workers back to Nepal. There was a crisis at the border where hundreds of thousands of people were stranded, without food and water, waiting for COVID19 tests before they could take transportation back to their small villages.
Health Goes Global was able to raise over $1,000 in 1 week for these Nepali migrants. We helped our partners at the Kopila Valley Clinic to deliver life saving food, water, and basic medical supplies.

We decided to donate our surplus of 4,500 medical examination gloves to New York City hospitals facing the highest number of coronavirus cases in our country. Our mission to improve health in communities through preventative medicine, includes protecting the health care worker. Providing medical staff with gloves enables them to continue serving those in need.
