Possible

What Possible does

Possible is a U.S.-incorporated 501(c)(3) nonprofit (legally Nyaya Health, doing business as Possible) that delivers and researches community-based healthcare in rural Nepal through a salaried, full-time, digitally enabled community health worker (CHW) cadre embedded in local primary healthcare systems. Operations are run from a Kathmandu office with a U.S. headquarters in New York, and program delivery is concentrated in Achham, Dolakha, Chandragiri, and Bardibas districts. Services are provided free at the point of care; the organization funds operations through charitable donations and institutional grants, principally from the U.S. National Institutes of Health and National Institute of Mental Health.

The core product portfolio consists of evidence-based behavioral and digital health interventions designed for CHW delivery: BECOME (combined behavioral intervention for common mental health conditions and non-communicable diseases), MILAP (family-based intervention for intimate partner violence), PSuPP (primary healthcare suicide prevention), INCLUDE (digital tool for intersectional HIV stigma assessment), and COMMIT+ (mHealth motivational interviewing tool for youth living with HIV). Underlying technology is a CHW mobile application stack that supports protocol-guided counseling, screening, and data capture, paired with stepped-wedge and randomized implementation research designs that generate peer-reviewed evidence to inform Nepal health policy.

The revenue model blends individual donations (one-time, recurring, stock, planned giving, donor-advised funds) with multi-year federal research grants, supplemented by partnerships with academic institutions (Yale, UCSF, Kathmandu University, Wheaton College), Nepali hospitals (Dhulikhel, Kathmandu University Hospital), and Nepal government entities (Ministry of Health and Population, NSSD, EDCD). Go-to-market for service delivery is direct-to-community via CHWs, while distribution of evidence to influence policy runs through peer-reviewed publications and the annual impact report.
