Dear GlobalGiver,
Thank you for your support of our campaign to build a new Hamro Ghar. Our team in Nepal has been working tirelessly since the earthquake to help communities rebuild their lives, and while we are eager to realize our dream of a new Hamro Ghar that will serve even more children recovering from exploitation and abuse in the carpet industry and beyond, our focus has necessarily remained on the pressing needs of families still struggling to regain stability. With much yet to do for earthquake-affected weavers and their children who are faced with the prospect of another winter in temporary shelter, we are suspending our campaign to rebuild Hamro Ghar until next year.
Your generous donation will still make a significant difference in the lives of “carpet kids” currently living at the existing Hamro Ghar facility. Thankfully, we were able to repair the damage the facility sustained in the earthquake, ensuring all children who reside there are safe and supported – with your help. Building a new Hamro Ghar remains our dream, and we hope you’ll join us in achieving that dream in the coming year.
We also encourage you to check out our other GlobalGiving project, Rehabilitate rescued child slaves in Nepal, to find out how you can help us to support the ongoing needs of the “carpet kids” who reside at Hamro Ghar. For other ways to keep up with GoodWeave’s work, please check out our website, sign up for our newsletter, “like” us on Facebook, or follow us on Twitter.
On behalf of the children, women, workers, companies and entire communities your compassion has and will help, thank you again for your support. We hope you will continue to be a part of the GoodWeave family.
With gratitude,
Nina Smith
