Tilicho "Health For Everyone" is a long term project based on medical and humanitarian aid to the people who live in the highlands of Nepal, around Tilicho lake (District of Manang, zone of Gandaki), and in the remote area, far off the normal tourist routes, of the District of Dolpo (the film "Himalaya" was shot in Dolpo), Karnali zone, the poorest corners of one of the poorest countries on earth. This humanitarian aid project is flanked by another project directed to medical-scientific researches.

Year by year, the medical and humanitarian aid project and the researches are carried on and improved till their conclusion, and then new ones begin.

The helping project in the beginning is centered on children, in fact the infantle mortality between 0 to 5 years is incredibly high (118 on 1,000 births) ; fertile women , their death-rate is the worst in Asia (740* death on 100,000 births); porters , who, also in those zones, do not have any centre equipped for orthopedic pathologies; handicapped.

*A record of Department of Health Services (Nepal), in 1996, put the mortality rate at 539 per 100,000. Later, in 2004, after adjustments by UNICEF, the rate was put at 740, implying that 5,000 to 6,000 women die each year during childbirth. It means one pregnant woman dies every 2 hours.

We want to know more and better the Nepal and its people, and ourselves.
