The Dhulikhel Hospital is located in the city of the same name in the province of Kavre, 30 kilometers northeast of Kathmandu. As hospitals with modern facilities remain inaccessible to the majority of the population, Dhulikhel has started an outreach program. Twelve different health care centres across the country’s regions continuously offer health care to people from all levels of the population. Moreover, these centres are also used as information, prevention and rehabilitation centres.

In cooperation with Microcredits for Mothers, the outreach post Kattike Deurali Health Centre Kavre has been providing loans to groups of women formed specifically for this purpose since August 2009.

Community Self-Reliance Centre (CSRC), a local development organization in Nepal, is taking care of very poor farmer communities without land in rural areas. Families in these communities have no access to land due to their social background and because of this, they live in great poverty. CSRC mobilizes these families to stand up for their rights so they are able to built an independant livelihood. Meanwhile thousands of families gain access to farmland this way. To reach their goals and mission, CSRC started in 2012 with setting up co-operations for these families and start with a saving system for all participants. The savings can be used for intern loans, f.e. for incidental costs. However the amount of savings is too low for loans with an investment purpose and therefor the families stay dependent from expensive informal loans.
