Despite its rich culture, geography and history, Nepal is still relatively underdeveloped. The literacy rate and health conditions in rural areas are poor and deficient compared to urban life. The social status of women is lower than of men. Asia Horizon has taken the initiative to improve the situation of women, orphans, rural communities and wildlife through our volunteer programs in several fields such as teaching in schools and monasteries, helping poor children in orphanages, women empowerment, traffic management, community development, construction and renovation of schools and orphanages. To implement its programs effectively Asia Horizon cooperates with various social organizations including Rural Community Development Program-Nepal (Rcdp-nepal).
