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
New building for Hospice Nepal is finally underway. However, significant funding is still required to complete this project. The finished hospice will have twenty beds plus a wonderful training facility for doctors and nurses wishing to study palliative care as a speciality in Nepal.
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.
