Almost a third of Nepal's population lives on less than a dollar a day, and political turmoil has displaced tens of thousands of people. For Nepalese women, life is particularly difficult. The country has a long record of discrimination and exploitation, and maternal mortality in Nepal has historically been among the highest in Asia.First thing which I realized was a major problem in Nepal was high rate of maternal mortality, and women were dying due to pregnancy-related complications. Women are not aware of pregnancy,they think that it is  just a normal thing and that they can deliver at home and they are not aware of the consequences that pregnancy.What these women don't realize is that, they deliver ten kids at home, but how many were alive? Out of ten, you have only four or five kids alive. In this era you cannot deliver ten children and then you have two or three of them alive; you should have two or three kids and all of them should be alive.low literacy rate in Nepal is also a barrier when it comes to educating the women about health issues.

Mothers Day in Nepal is known as Mata Tirth Ausi Nepali people pay their homage to their Mother with her fevorite food, clothing and other goods.In Nepali Mukh Herne means "to allow someone as our relative or give respect or to recognize the achievement of or love to someone". This is the day when we recognize and pay respect to mother for her care and unconditional love to us, so we call this day the "Mother’s day" – “Aama ko Mukh Herne Din” (the literal meaning is to pay homage to Mother, by seeing Mother’s face”) The people of different community and tribe have their own way of celebrating mother’s day. Some celebrate it early in the morning, pay homage to mother and start the day Some celebrate in the evening .However, the ultimate essence of the festival is to give love and respect to our mother.
