We can see the difference your giving makes.

Friends and members of the IGWR Committee recently visited Nepal, we do this each year as a self-funded trip to see how things a are going, to encourage, to audit the various projects, and of course to be inspired. To actually see that we are making a difference in the world is truly wonderful, it provides an energy that balances so much that we see in our daily newsfeeds, and it illuminates, again and again, that sharing our gifts is the path toward a better tomorrow for all.

 

What we are achieving, together.

Our primary focus is directed toward giving vulnerable children an education, however these children are also part of a vulnerable family, and we therefore become involved with these families and seek to enable the family unit to break the cycle of poverty that entraps them, giving them and their children hope for the future.

Meet Rashmi Tamang and her mother, Prem Maya, two inspiring women from Nepal who have shown resilience in the face of hardship. Rashmi, a 19-year-old pursuing a bachelor’s in business management, has faced challenges that would crush most people. After the mysterious disappearance of her father, when she was 2 years old. Rashmi’s mother stepped up, working tirelessly to provide for them both. With IGWR's support, Rashmi has been able to continue her education, while also working part-time to help her mother, who now struggles with health issues. As they dream of building a small tea and momo shop, we are reminded of the incredible strength and dedication they embody. Together, let’s support Rashmi and Prem Maya in achieving a brighter future.

We are currently raising funds to secure a small tea/momo shop for these two amazing women, we’ll aim to give them a start with six months’ rent, and support from our team in Nepal.

 

Our monthly food run is a lifeline for many other single mums who are struggling and working hard to make ends meet. It is a simple initiative and yet it is life changing for these hard-working women, enabling them to leave their children in school rather than having them work as well to meet the cost of staying alive. It is an activity that ‘our kids’ in Nepal also enjoy helping with.

We are a “Family of Families”…

And we receive so much joy and inspiration from little things that make a big difference. Kiran is a bright kid but with little of the support many of us enjoyed as kids.

Living in a single room with mum who is in a wheelchair, he has a lot to overcome in order to focus on his schooling.

But, we are a family, and we share his burden, by supporting the family, Kiran has an opportunity to give more time to his schoolwork. Kiran’s latest school report: A, A+. A, A, A, A, A+

Giving support to vulnerable kids can be a challenging experience, And it can be a delightful celebration of simple achievements

 

We even support some of the poorer schools in Nepal

As we become involved with families, so too we become a part of their communities and during the recent visit our friends visited two of the schools that we have supported. We have built additional classrooms, provided children with their essential school necessities and have also become involved in providing teacher training. It all helps the community and is key to enabling more and more kids to open the door of opportunity that education holds the key.

 

“There is always light, if only we're brave enough to see it. If only we are brave enough to be it.”
Amanda Gorman

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
