Rural Assistance Nepal (RAN) is a UK registered charity working in Nepal (www.rannepal.org). It supports the salaries of some teachers working in a few government schools, as well as a couple of nurses (midwives) working in a remote sub-healthpost in the lower part of Solukhumbu, a day's walk from alleri. RAN is also currently working on setting up a community hospital in [Disallowed String for - use of word not allowed]bang, in the mid-western region of Nepal, close to Pyuthan and Rolpa districts that have very poor access to medical services.
