Conscious Impact is a sustainable rural development non-profit based in the village of Takure, Nepal.
History
Conscious Impact was founded by Orion Haas, Allen Gula following the April 2015 Nepal Earthquake.[1] When the earthquake occurred, Hass and Gula had been trekking in the Himalayan region of the country. They felt the earthquake and saw the destruction that the earthquake had in the country. After crowdfunding to support initial rebuilding efforts, Haas and Gula established Conscious Impact to provide continued support to the community of Takure, a low-income, farming village in the Sindhupalchowk District, about 30 miles northeast of Kathmandu.[2]
