Warm Winter Clothing Making a Huge Difference
Last winter’s Warm Winter Clothing Appeal was an amazing success! Anil worked closely with the women's cooperatives in each remote area to reach an even greater number of children than we had anticipated - 1312 in total! Each child received a warm hooded coat, a fleece jumper, gloves and two pairs of socks. We are so very grateful to all of you who contributed in any way at all to help us reach this amazing total. We will be launching this year’s coat appeal in September!

Hospice Nepal
We have recently given £5000 towards the new hospice. This has been 50% match funded by a charity called the ‘Nick Simons Foundation’ making our donation worth £7,500. The lease on the land where the current hospice was built in 1999, will run out shortly. The medical staff are keen to move patients across to the new building by the end of the year. There is still lots to do to make part of the building habitable, but the team there in Nepal are working hard to make this happen. They still have a huge amount of money to raise, but we hope that this donation will make some difference.
Welfare/Education Fund
As part of a new project being overseen by two women's cooperatives, eleven of some of the most disadvantaged children are being kitted out with uniforms, shoes, books, pens, backpacks and the fees to enable them to attend school. It costs approximately £50 per child, a small amount when you consider that education is the key to their future. Not only does it mean that they can attend school, it also shows these vulnerable children that someone really cares about their welfare.
Water System Support Project
A new Water System Support Project in a large rural secondary school is now complete. This means that the students now have access to working toilets and water to wash their hands.
