Covid-19: What's the situation in Jaleshwori? July 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 limited 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.
