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!

6/18/2021

"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!

Celebrate Mother's Day by giving back!

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”

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: clean 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.
If you would like to mail a cheque our mailing address is: Nepal School Projects, Box 1405, Waterdown, On, L0B 1A0

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…

Thank you for caring. Thank you for helping us to help Mothers in Nepal.

Drinking Water Projects are 75% complete!

2/21/2021

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: www.nepalschoolprojects.ca

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

Salli Khola: 20 taps, 4 cisterns; 50 households; 300 people
Girdum Khola: 36 taps; 2 cisterns; 40 households; 265 people
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

Giving Generously, Fundraising Campaign 2020

In February of 2020, a group of us were able to go to Nepal to visit some of the villages. These are some brief comments from our, “first time” travellers:

Liam ”Sometimes the schools do not even have a blackboard or learning tools. Sometimes, the drinking well and latrine are shared by the whole village”
Mary ”It was very clear to me upon entering the village just how critical the school was to the whole village. It served as the central hub of the village and more often than not, had the only latrine and fresh well water, to service the entire village. These simple but critical elements were a complete game changer for these isolated villages.”
Laurie “The experience of my journey through Nepal is indelibly etched in my memory. I was not fully prepared for the fact that the school's fresh water supply and new latrines were the connection for the people living in the village and surrounding area. To think that in most cases, these are the only facilities available within a 2 hour walk was unfathomable. Fresh and clean water is certainly not a given. There is still much work to be done for these wonderful people, some of which will only be possible through the donations collected.”
Terri “Our journey to Nepal was life changing for me. Without NSP water systems, latrines and schools, women have to walk miles for fresh water and children would not have the opportunity to attend school. It was amazing to see such joy and gratitude, in people who have so little. Our support will relieve some of the pressures they endure, due to poverty. Our financial support is so important.”

Our little band of NSP supporters trekked into the village of Kumari, where NSP has recently built a new primary school, water tap and latrines. We also distributed new school bags to each of the school children so that they can carry their books to and from home each day. If only we could have bottled up the looks of pride on the faces of those children as they sported their new school bags and showed off their new school.

As we enter this holiday season, we at Nepal School Projects, would like to THANK YOU for your past support.
With your financial help, we have been able to carry on our vital work in the poor mountain villages of Nepal. Thanks to you, hundreds of children have a dry, safe roof over their heads while they attend school classes. Thousands have the benefit of clean drinking water and sanitary latrines.
Covid-19 prevents us from holding our traditional, annual fundraiser and today we are asking you to make an online donation, so that our work in these remote villages can continue. As much as NSP has done, there is still so much to do.

With the input of our Board members in Nepal, we choose the most critical projects, such as water taps to deliver clean water. Many of our aging school buildings need repair. Many schools still do not have working latrines attached, forcing children to go home during their school day in order to relieve themselves. Covid19 has not helped the situation in Nepal. In the early days of the pandemic, NSP provided funds for sacks of rice for distribution in the remote villages. As a new lockdown is imminent the same request is expected, therefore more funds are needed.

We desperately need your help to support these poor villages.

Could you spare a few dollars from your holiday gift giving to help us, help Nepal?
As you plan your year-end financial plan, will you please remember us?
If you are looking for a unique gift for someone this holiday season, please consider a donation in lieu to Nepal School Projects.
Who wouldn’t love to think that they have put a smile on a young face in Nepal by helping to provide a meal, a clean drinking source, or a new school?

A donation of $50, $100 or $1000 would go a long way to improve the lives of Nepalese children and their families. All donations, big or small, would help us. Tax Receipts will be issued. Donate here!

Nepal School Projects wishes you a safe and happy Holiday Season. THANK YOU!!!
