Our Mission
Our Mission is to facilitate projects in Nepal prioritising community, health, and education outcomes.
The main beneficiaries of anything Active Hearts does is children. Whether we are building a school library, sponsoring an orphanage or homeless shelter, suppling pre/post natal equipment for a medical clinic or working on a new irrigation system…
