"I never give up." For community health volunteer Kiran Kumari Thakur, reaching every pregnant woman in her corner of Mahottari is a daily act of persistence, and it is beginning to shift how families think about safe motherhood.

When a powerful earthquake struck Karnali Province, One Heart Worldwide's team was on the ground within hours, setting up medical tents and safe birthing spaces so mothers and newborns in Rukum West could still reach care.

After years of loss and a lifetime far from any health facility, a community awareness program helped Paljum, a mother in a remote mountain village of Dolpa, choose to seek care for herself and her baby.

High in the mountains of Dolpa District, where winter empties the health posts and language keeps many women silent, a field officer's visit helped Dawa find the care and information she couldn't reach on her own.

"We never had such a health education program in our village." For new mothers like Soneeya in Myagdi, learning about safe pregnancy has changed what care looks like close to home.

At Liku Health Post in one of Dolpa's most remote corners, mothers can now get early warning of a risky pregnancy without leaving their community.
