Organization Details

Nepal Natural and Human Resources Development Association (NAHUDA) is a national, non-profit, non governmental organization established in 1992 with a mission to provide quality reproductive health services for Nepali women.

NAHUDA focuses on providing women with access to various reproductive health services such as uterine prolapse prevention, gender-based violence counselling, family planning, women's health rights awareness, referrals to hospitals and other routine medical checks such as PAP smears. Screening for breast cancer is also one of the primary roles of this organization. They provide mamograms and educational workshops on how to conduct self-breast examinations.

NAHUDA also conducts education workshops on topics related to reproductive health. They conduct these workships during many of their outreach visits in communities outside of the Kathmandu Valley. Outreach visits are an important part of NAHUDA's programs because through this program they have been able to conduct field research that enabled them to understand the scope of various projects to a deeper level. In addition, these outreach programs helped the team of NAHUDA to develop relationships with members of the community in which they serve. This increased the trust in the patience they were serving and enabled them to disclose more details about their current medical state.

Currently this organization has one static clinic in Lalitpur which is their primary center for educational training and medical examinations. In addition, NAHUDA conducts outreach programs referred to by their organization as "field camps". Each year, approximately 20 to 25 camps are organized and implemented throughout both the Kathmandu Valley and rural communities.
