Project Propel, headquartered in Maryland, provides technical guidance and financial support to Project Propel Nepal.

The project also offers nutrition and WASH (Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene) training, empowering women with practical knowledge and skills for healthier, more sustainable living.
Brepal e.V. is a Germany-based non-profit founded in 2011 by Dr. Klaus Eckert and his colleagues. Having worked in Nepal since 1998, Dr. Eckert developed a deep understanding of the country’s healthcare system and the significant disparities between well-equipped urban centers like Kathmandu and underserved rural communities with limited access to basic healthcare.
As the major donor of Project Propel Nepal, Brepal e.V. plays a transformative role in improving the lives of vulnerable populations through integrated health and education initiatives. The organization has constructed two key health facilities—Madhane Community Health Center in Banjhkateri, Gulmi, and Chakreshwori Community Health Center in Loting, Dolakha—and continues to provide funding for free healthcare services to more than 20,000 people each year.
In addition, Brepal e.V. provide funding to organize dental and eye surgery camps, strengthens and renovates government health centers, and expands access to essential medical services in remote communities.
Beyond healthcare, Brepal e.V. invests in education through school strengthening programs, operation of a children’s hostel for children from Chepang communities, teacher support, infrastructure development, long-term scholarships for technical studies, and vocational training opportunities that empower youth with skills for sustainable livelihoods.
Through this strong and enduring partnership, Brepal e.V. continues to make a meaningful impact by expanding access to quality healthcare and education in some of Nepal’s most underserved regions through Project Propel Nepal.
