In the summer of 2013, HAPSA Nepal launched one of its earliest grassroots initiatives — the Hand Hygiene and Health Camp, an impactful community outreach program aimed at improving basic hygiene practices and access to primary health education in underserved regions of Nepal. It laid the foundation for HAPSA Nepal’s continued focus on preventive health and community empowerment.
