Small Acts, Big Impact.
Jayanti Memorial Trust (JMT) was founded in 2001 as a nonprofit organisation dedicated to the prevention, treatment and research into all forms of cardio vascular disease in Nepal. The Trust was founded by the late Helen Shah in the memory of her daughter the late Jayanti Shah in the hopes of making cardiac care available throughout Nepal, especially to those who need it most.The late Jayanti Shah was dedicated throughout her life to public service. She saw firsthand how cardiovascular disease destroyed lives and devastated so many families. She wanted to establish a foundation to make cardiac care easily available to disadvantaged Nepali people. Tragically she was unable to accomplish this goal during her lifetime, however the Trust aims to carry on her mission in her memory.
The vision and mission of JMT is to make cardiac care readily accessible to all economically marginalised cardiac patients in Nepal through financial assistance, advocacy, research and awareness and where possible, to prevent cardiovascular disease from developing. JMT aims to extend it’s help to everyone in need, irrespective of community, caste or religion.
