NRVT works through NRVT Nepal, an official NGO run by trusted Nepali intermediaries. It is operated entirely by volunteers both in Nepal and in Europe and so has almost no overheads. Funds raised and donated are sent directly to Nepal where they make an immediate and tangible impact on the local community.

The Jaleswori Community Farm is up and running!
The farm purchase was completed in March 2021 and opened at a ceremony (left) which included the village leaders and NRVT Nepal trustees. Local people immediately came in to help Milan, the new manager, install fencing, prepare the land and plant trees. Thanks to this community effort Milan and his family now have a habitable house which also boasts enough electricity to charge a mobile phone and run an electric light.

Emergency Food Aid Appeal
Following our emergency food aid appeal, NRVT were able to help 101 families in the Kathmandu valley who had lost their incomes due to lockdown. The families were provided with enough rice, lentils, cooking oil, salt and sugar for up to three months. Tourism is the major source of income for thousands of people in Kathmandu and due to Covid many porters, cooks and trekking guides were unable to feed themselves and their families. They were facing an autumn/winter season with no work and no government aid. NRVT Nepal chairman Pasang Tamang and his team did a great job of collecting names and distributing the food that will help these people survive the Kathmandu winter. Thank you to everyone who donated to this cause. |
