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.

Winter Appeal
School Uniforms for Mountain Children 'too cold to learn' Winter is fast approaching and school teachers in Jaleshwori have asked us to provide warm school uniforms. Winter temperatures plummet in this remote, subsistence-farming region. Life is harsh and parents struggle to provide food and clothing for their children. Classrooms have no heating and children arriving with inadequate clothing are simply too cold to learn. NRVT aims to provide a warm school uniform for 343 children aged between 6 - 15 years old. We have sourced a manufacturer in Kathmandu who will supply a warm tracksuit, sweater, tee-shirt, hat and scarf for just £22/26€ per child. The uniforms will be transported by 4x4 jeep to the area and distributed by NRVT Nepal trustees. If you can offer a school uniform to a cold Nepali child this winter please click on the donate button. Many thanks.
