Covid-19 Emergency Food Aid Appeal
Help us alleviate the desperate hardship in Nepal
Help us alleviate the desperate hardship in Nepal
As Covid-19 cases rise in Nepal, the Kathmandu valley has once again gone into lockdown. No international flights are permitted until mid-September at the earliest and the autumn trekking season is not going to happen. Thousands of people who depend on the tourist trade for their livelihood - trekking guides, cooks and porters - will all be without income for many more months. Street sellers, hotel workers and taxi drivers are also desperately affected. All these hard-working people, many of them trained and qualified in their professions, face an autumn and winter of desperate hardship.
In response to this need, NRVT has set up a food relief fund. Food essentials will be distributed to those in need through our NGO, NRVT Nepal. Please donate now to offer food aid to tourism workers and their families, people like Ful Kumar pictured below.

Ful Kumar Tamang is a trekking cook who lives with his two daughters in one room, with shared toilet and shower (cold water only) in the Kathmandu valley. He is a single parent and has worked incredibly hard to keep his family together, even managing to send his daughters to school. Due to Covid-19 he had no work in the spring trekking season but was able to fall back on the little money he had put aside. Now he faces an autumn and winter without work too. With no help forthcoming from the government, Ful Kumar has no way of feeding himself and his family.
There are thousands like Ful Kumar in Kathmandu who are beginning to wonder where the next meal will come from. NRVT has set up the Food-Aid appeal to give these families basic supplies to keep them from malnutrition and possible starvation this autumn and winter. Please give generously. Thank you.

Covid-19: What's the situation in Jaleshwori? August 2020
We are relieved to report that so far there are no known cases of Covid-19 in Jaleshwori. The local population are very aware and concerned knowing that if anyone should catch the virus only the most rudimentary healthcare is available. Transport between regions is still restricted with quarantine being strictly imposed for those who travel.
Villagers in Jaleswori and throughout Nepal are experiencing considerable hardship and food shortages as migrant workers return home from India, Asia and the Middle East. At the same time, there is no money coming into these communities as these work opportunities abroad have now dried up.
Empowering the local people through donations of fruit trees and the Community Farm project is more relevant than ever before. We are working with people in the local community to build a future with improved food security and reliable harvests that are resistant to climate change.
Please donate now to support our work.
