We need you now more than ever…
How quickly the world changes, and yet in many ways much remains the same…
Although IGWR is not a recipient of foreign aid, the communities in Nepal will be disadvantaged by some donor countries reducing their aid budgets, and that puts extra pressure on grass roots organisations like ours.
We don’t think of our work as a charitable gift, rather it is an investment in a better tomorrow for us all. We can, and do, make a real difference and by giving kids a chance of a future we open possibilities that will enable the vulnerable to shine and achieve to their fullest potential. Surely, this is the foundation for building a better future for us all.
In uncertain times we can create hope; dreams for a better future can become reality.
The children we support are amazing and seem to relish the opportunity of going to school, many excel at their schoolwork. Being a part of their growth and success gives us hope that a better world is possible, we all can make a difference.
The enormity of making ends meet is particularly hard for single mums and by supporting them and their children we enable communities to grow beyond financial anxiety and begin to dream of a more creative future.
The smile, a sign of optimism in a troubled world.
Those who share in our work, every donor and sponsor, invest in something that brings about positive change. We sometimes think there is little to smile about when we watch the world news, but we are all a part of these changing times and the smiles these students share is very much an inspiration to keep doing what we’re doing.
We have students that have graduated as doctors, nurses, teachers and they are now making a real contribution within their communities, they are also a part of the world news, a part of the changing times.
And single mums, no longer working as labourers on unsafe construction sites, can give their kids more time and the nurturing that every kid deserves.
A “Family of Families”…
Two girls from different backgrounds see themselves as sisters, embracing each other and supporting each other.
We have seen what can happen when we remove barriers and embrace difference. Imagine a world in which we could all embrace each other regardless of background, race, religion, seeing our common humanity rather than a fear of those who might be different to us.
And we’ve more to do as we respond to the growing needs in Nepal and the reduction in foreign aid that’s now happening.
Our current plans, in addition to supporting the forty plus students we are already committed to, are very much aimed at creating a lasting difference.
o Creating small business ventures so that single mums can become self-sufficient and not dependant on an exploitive labour market.
o Creating career paths for those students nearing graduation
o Improving the educational capacity of some rural schools that will benefit the local communities and give the students a greater opportunity to complete their studies.
o We need to improve our overall profile. For over twelve years we have been making a real difference, however, we do need new sponsors/donors to meet the ever-increasing demands for our services.

Thank you for “giving”, you not only enable our work in Nepal but being part of this ‘family of families’ inspires and encourages others. From the kids in Nepal… Thank You for everything
