Namaste
WE ARE STILL HERE! …. and we hope you are still here with us.
Betty, Terri, David ,Salina, Karin and I have not stopped communicating with our friends in Nepal and supporting their work during the pandemic.

It has been a frustrating couple of years, not knowing how our Nepalese friends would cope with the pandemic.. We left Nepal in February 2020, after a visit to see our friends and projects. We have not been able to return in person as yet. Babulal and his crew have been steadily working away in the villages, as the threat of Covid was less in the villages. We are happy to report that our NSP crew and their families are all healthy.

During this time however, we have depleted our funds and need your support more than ever. Our ideal budget in one year is to send $100,000.00 CDN to Nepal to spend on projects.
In 2019/20 we were able to send $100,000.00 CDN.  In 2021/22 were able to send $50,000.00. We are hoping to send at least $30,000 in 2022/23 for new projects. Our money goes a long way in Nepal, however, the coffers are dwindling and there is still so much work to do.

WE NEED YOUR Support. Click here to donate.

The easiest way to contribute is online. Currently, we are not anticipating face to face gatherings.…SO…. Please contribute to our Mothers Day Fundraising Campaign and help us to continue our work assisting the children of Nepal by:
1. Providing clean water to drink,
2. Developing sanitation systems and
3. Building infrastructure for education.

I am happy to report that all projects, for this working year, are now complete. We are in the process of planning for the next round of projects in the villages. Our people are able to work in the villages from September to May. Monsoons in the summer months make it too treacherous to work. Landslides and flooding are a real danger then.

Great NEWS from The USA……..

Our NSP USA affiliate has been able to support the completion of 2 significant projects. One was a wash (water system) including 100m of pipeline, 2 latrines and 1 tap. The second included 1,000m of pipeline, 1 small cistern, 2 latrines and 1 tap. Congratulations!

They also welcome two new faces to their board: Tarranum Kholi and Supriya Sharma…. both well qualified to assist in moving NSP USA forward. We look forward to working with you both.

A New Scholarship Fund
One of our Nepali students, Kunsang Tamang, who we have supported through elementary and secondary school, has completed his secondary education. Hurrah Kunsang. He has applied to an Australian college and has been accepted into a program to train as a chef. Kunsang, the son of Sancheman Tamang, a valued long time employee of NSP Nepal, will be starting this program in May. We are very excited for him and so proud. Thank you to Oscar and Jenny Signoretti for their generous donation to kick off our new Graduate Scholarship fund which will assist Kunsang with his expenses. The fund raised $6000.00 and will help to launch Kunsang on his way. We wish him great success.

Thank you to everyone who has supported us in the past and particularly over the last two years. Please visit the website to read more. http://www.nepalschoolprojects.ca/
We look forward to hearing from you.

Happy Mothers Day.
Gratefully

Nepal School Projects, Giving Tuesday Campaign

Imagine....
... going to school one day and seeing it has slid off the side of a mountain!
... a classroom with a roof so leaky that all of the children have to huddle in the corner to stay dry!
... having to walk 2 hours to school and and 2 hours home, because there is no access to school in your own village!
This is the plight of children in the villages of the Kavre district of Nepal.
​
Nepal School Projects is running a Giving Tuesday Campaign in November and December 2021. 
 Our work is important and the NEED is GREAT! Thank you so much for your support.Our Goal for this campaign is $20,000.00 and we could use your help.
We would like to continue to fund projects that would provide water, latrines and schools to the children and families of the Kavre District in Nepal. Our current projects include:
1.     Bhaluchhapro WASH Program in Kavre
2.     Chhangapakha WASH Program in Kavre.  
3.     Buddha Secondary School.

We appreciate any financial support you can give us. 
​Namaste

Nepal is in crisis!

"The New Humanitarian.org states that, "While the coronavirus surge in India has dominated global attention, a parallel crisis has been unfolding largely in the shadows in neighbouring Nepal, pushing a beleaguered health system to the brink.” 
"The Himalayan nation has a fraction of India’s population – and of its health resources – but its weekly coronavirus cases and deaths are among the highest in the world on a per capita basis. Nepal has recorded roughly 163 cases per 100,000 people over the last week, according to World Health Organization figures. India, where a second wave triggered rounds of emergency aid pledges, recorded about 98. Nepal’s hospitals have been crammed to capacity or beyond for the last month. There are shortages of oxygen, medicine, and vital equipment..."

​   We at NSP Canada are devastated to hear about the Covid19 crisis in Nepal and that it has reached the mountainous villages in Kavre.  The Kavre villages, that we support, are remote. Medical assistance in the villages is rare. The alternative is walking hours, away from home to get help.  
   Our team in Nepal has responded quickly, risking their own health to distribute packs of vitamins in hopes of building immunity. This help is funded by you, our supporters and we appreciate your help. 
​We thank you!

A donation to Nepal School Projects will help to make this Nepali mother’s dream for her children come true.
… “Drinking water is a problem in villages, as it takes up to three hours each day to fetch water”
… “clean water saves children from diseases”
… “before we had latrines, villagers used open areas”
… “NSP has provided basic education to the children in the villages”


Click here to donate. Help those in need in Nepal.

This year, you can CELEBRATE MOTHERHOOD by GIVING BACK. Mothers in Nepal, like all mothers, have dreams of a better life for their children.
Yet their dreams are simple: c
lean water, sanitation and access to education. 
Even during COVID, Nepal School Projects has been busy working, but we need your help to finish building latrines and water systems that will deliver fresh water to over 1000 villagers. 

Our Annual Fundraising Budget is $100,000.00. That said, we need $20,000.00 NOW, to finish our current projects.

You will receive a Charitable Tax Receipt.
Donations can be made by following the link below.

Just something to think about…..
………$5, $10, or $20 a month in honour of your mother will help with books and school supplies
…….. $100, $250, or other amount in honour of your mother will help with water installation
………$350 will build a latrine that will be used by several families in a village and improve sanitation
………any amount will help… EVERY CENT GOES TO THE PEOPLE OF NEPAL…

November 30, 2020. 
Mahabharat Rural Municipality, Ward 2,
Rajedada,  Salli Khola drinking water project.

​The water is brought down from the mountaintops. Trenches for the pipes are dug by hand with picks and shovels. Everyone pitches in. Water is carried down through the pipes and stored in cisterns. The cisterns service the taps in the village.
The villagers have worked with us to get things done.
Update From Nepal School Projects,
Feb. 6, 2021

Namaste
A Year ago today, an intrepid NSP band of volunteers were trekking through the villages of Kavre visiting our completed Projects for 2019/20.  Hard to believe, with all that has happened this year.  NSP Nepal has continued to complete work there, as the main Covid outbreaks have been in Kathmandu, with the villages being relatively safe.  Great news for them but daunting for us from a fundraising perspective.

Our last request for donations, just before Christmas raised about $10,000.00 Our annual budget is  $100,000.00  So please we need your help, no matter what the amount. 
Thank you.
Please visit our website to donate:

On a recent Skype call with Babulal and Suraj, they reported the following developments:
1. 
Drinking water projects:  built in 3 different villages, will be completed totally in 2 months
  1. Salli Khola:  20 taps, 4 cisterns; 50 households; 300 people
  2. Girdum Khola:  36 taps; 2 cisterns; 40 households; 265 people
  3. Tirpani Khola:  50 taps; 2 cisterns; 80 households; 560 people
2. Latrine Project: 1 village -  Hati Chada; will be completed in 1 month. 46 toilets were built ($650 each)
3. Chamran Basi School -  work completed included a new roof on an existing school (originally built by Michael), latrines and drinking water. 
The villagers have been very involved in completing the grunt work with many women carrying stone for the construction of buildings.  Gravel is made by hand with a hammer.  NSP Nepal reports that the villagers have been extremely pleased with the progress and are very happy to work with NSP. It is so important that drinking water and latrines be available to all.
Thank you for your continued support.
Stay safe
