Nepal Remote Villages TrustChanging Lives through Practical Aid
Registered Charity No. 1173563
Nepal Remote Villages Trust is a small and effective charity dedicated to offering practical and sustainable support to the remote village of Jaleshwori and the surrounding area in the north-eastern region of Khotang. This region is being targeted as one of the most deprived areas of Nepal.

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 was opened at a ceremony which included village leaders and NRVT Nepal trustees. Local people immediately came in to help the new manager, Kaji Tamang, install fencing, prepare the land and plant trees. Thanks to this community effort Kaji and his family now have a habitable house which also boasts enough electricity to charge a mobile phone and run an electric light. Read more about the farm here |

School Uniforms Appeal
The winter appeal School Uniforms for Mountain Children 'too cold to learn' was a huge success. Over 400 children in these remote, subsistence-farming communities now have warm clothes to wear to school. Life is harsh and parents struggle to provide food for their children, clothing is often a luxury. It was clear from the expressions on the faces of many of the children that they had never had new clothes before. This is an ongoing project as new children join the schools every year. A warm tracksuit, sweater, tee-shirt, hat and scarf costs just £22/26€ per child. To offer a child warm clothes, please donate below. |
We are currently seeking a Funding Partner to provide solar power for Jaleshwori Community Farm. If you are a company or individual interested in getting involved with this or another of our projects, please get in touch. We'd love to hear from you.
