Inner Ocean Empowerment Project builds and sustains free healthcare clinics in rural Nepal.
We train local women as Certified Community Health Workers.
We supply their clinics.
We support them year-round.
The work continues every day, in every season.
Since 2013, we have served communities across five countries. Today, our work is entirely focused in Nepal, where we have spent over a decade building the relationships that make genuine community healthcare possible.

A Note From Mindi:
I have been traveling to Nepal for over a decade.
The communities we work with are not projects to me. They are family.
The mothers who run our clinics are not recipients of our help.
They are the program. We are their support structure.
