The news pommelled Jagat;
“Your father has fallen.”
Jagat was working as a porter in Nepal and had a long way to go to reach his father in his village of Kumari. His father had fallen while working in the hills around the small village. The nearest medical care required a nine hour walk. However, when Jagat and his brother hoisted their father on their shoulders they knew the trip would take much longer. Time had run out for Jagat’s father. He turned to his son and said “Jagat, you try to be a good man and try to help the remote people get medical treatment. Let them not die like me.” Jagat wept as he held his father in his arms. If only there had been medical care available.
Against incredible odds, Jagat held firm to his father’s dying wish. For years, Jagat dreamed of a hospital in the village of Kumari.
Land cleared for the future hospital in Kumari
Island Peak
Help Tell the Story
In April, an MLI expedition will be traveling with Jagat and his trekking company on an expedition to Everest Base Camp and ultimately to climb 20,305’ Island Peak. As they travel on this adventure, they will be hearing the story of Jagat and his vision of bringing medical care for the marginalized people of Kumari. International film producer Jon Fessler will be along to capture this story of the climb as well as the uphill battle of Jagat to build this hospital for his people. This film will be a critical tool to build awareness and raise money for the future Kumari Hospital.
Jagat donates up to fifty percent of the money raised through his trekking company to this project but it is not enough. Help us tell his story. There are 60,000 people who will gain vital access to medical care with this hospital. People who might otherwise die like Jagat’s father. Together, we can build a hospital in Kumari.
