United for Nature and Human (UNH) is a nonprofit organization committed to creating meaningful change for both people and the planet. Our mission is to provide targeted support to human communities and the natural environment by addressing their distinct needs through separate but equally impactful initiatives. We believe that both human development and environmental conservation deserve focused attention and tailored solutions. On the human development front, UNH works to uplift privileged and underprivileged communities by promoting access to mental health education, Access to education in remote areas & Education reform programs in cities, Women empowerment, address issues such as caste and social justice, quality education, basic healthcare, skill development, and livelihood opportunities. We support ordinary and marginalized populations, men, women, children, and rural communities and all people of Nepal through programs that improve health awareness, sanitation, nutrition and free them from social stigma. By offering vocational training and education resources, we help individuals become self-reliant and empowered to shape better futures for themselves and their families. In parallel, UNH is deeply committed to environmental protection. Our organization runs various campaigns and projects that focus on conserving biodiversity, restoring degraded land, promoting afforestation, and spreading environmental awareness. We work with local communities to implement sustainable practices in agriculture, waste management, and water conservation (We aim through our project to make water available in many parts of Nepal where it is difficult to find water in some places and have to travel 2 hours to get it). These efforts aim to protect natural ecosystems, combat climate change, and promote environmental responsibility among all age groups. Rather than blending the two focus areas, UNH recognizes that human and environmental challenges often require different approaches, resources, and strategies. We design separate programs that allow us to address each area with the specificity and dedication it demands. This ensures our interventions are more effective, measurable, and responsive to the unique challenges faced by people and nature individually. At United for Nature and Human (UNH), we envision a future where people thrive with dignity and nature flourishes in balance. Our work continues to grow through partnerships, community involvement, Government involvement and a commitment to integrity and impact in every sector we serve.

Over 600 million Indians defecate in the open every day because they have no toilet. This practice cripples health, economic, and social outcomes. Open defecation (OD) causes the spread of infectious diseases that kill an estimated 300,000 children under five every year. The economic costs of OD total nearly $54 billion lost each year in India, with rural households bearing the highest per capita loss. Furthermore, women and girls who lack convenient access to toilets often miss school and work while they are menstruating. SHRI ends open defecation in India by constructing community toilet facilities that are free to use. They include eight toilets for women, eight for men, hand-washing stations, and a biogas digester (a large underground tank). Human excrement is stored in this tank where it decomposes to produce methane gas. SHRI uses this energy source to produce electricity, which powers a water filtration plant that uses a patented resin filter to remove arsenic, fluoride, iron, and bacterial contaminants. The resulting potable water is sold for $0.008 per liter, less than half the current market cost, helping SHRI to generate revenue to offset its monthly facility O&M costs. This ensures facility cleanliness, a key predictor of sustained toilet use. Thus SHRI fights alongside rural Indian communities to end open defecation as a key step in the struggle for health equity, and social and economic justice.
