Mental Hospital Lagankhel

Mary Knoll Nepal / Aasha Deep

Maryknoll Nepal, established in 1991, is a non-profit, non-governmental voluntary social organization, duly registered with His Majesty’s Government and Social Welfare Council of Nepal. It was established with the main aim of releasing all the chronically mentally ill patients locked in different jails like Central Jail in Kathmandu and Dhulikhel jail in Kavre. Those patients were imprisoned for many years, solely for being mentally ill. There were no hospital facilities to accommodate them and the families did not want them back due to the chronic and relapsing nature of their illness. Psychiatric treatment within the jail does not exist. The other two aims are to provide treatment and then, to rehabilitate the mentally ill within their own families and communities.

Information is portable, relatively inexpensive and yet one of the most powerful tools known. But in many parts of the world, information is a scarce and inaccessible resource. By providing critical information and education to remote and underserved communities, we help people help themselves. The Equal Access Mission is to create positive change for millions of underserved people in the developing world by providing critically needed information and education through:
