The Alarming Reality of Suicide in Nepal

Over the past decade, 53,298 lives have been lost to suicide in Nepal. Despite a slight decrease in the suicide rate in recent years, the numbers remain distressingly high.

Statistics at a Glance:

  • Daily suicides: 19-20 individuals.
  • Current suicide rate: 23.4 per 100,000 population (compared to the global target of 4.7 by 2030).
  • Breakdown of suicides in FY 2021/2022:
    • Men: 56%
    • Women: 33%
    • Adolescents: 4%
    • Adolescent girls: 7%

Our Efforts and Vision

  • Breaking the Stigma: Mental health issues remain stigmatized in Nepal. We work to foster open discussions, encouraging individuals to seek help without fear or shame.
  • Community Outreach: Implementing mental health programs in 44 districts, with plans to expand nationwide. These programs aim to create accessible support systems for all.
  • Free Mental Health Services: In collaboration with the government, we distribute 11 types of mental health medications free of charge across the country.
  • Advocacy and Education: Through events, workshops, and campaigns, we emphasize the importance of mental health awareness, educating communities to recognize and address warning signs.
