Education and food for poor children in Nepal

Thank you so much for your generous donations! You are helping to make the life's dreams of all our children come true! We just received all the cheques from GlobalGiving  and are so relieved! We used to worry too much about  not having enough money to support the children’s needs including tuition, food, clothing, special lessons, a safe functioning house and more. Now we know that we have enough support for this year. We had various donors over the years since we started Mary Home in 2007. And are so grateful to all of them. For the past 11 years a group of friends and donors, USA have made a huge difference in the children’s lives by sponsoring the tuition for the all the children – special thanks to all these dear friends.

And now, friends and organizations who want to donate but don’t have a direct way since PayPal and other well-known portals don’t function in our part of Nepal, have a portal to support Mary Home. Donors from many countries  are helping out. Many of you are good friends who have visited and volunteered at Mary Home and know firsthand the needs of the children and how we struggle to maintain the Home. If you haven't visited, we invite you to Mary Home and would be so grateful to welcome you.

We prepare reports every 3 months. As suggested By Global Giving we personalize every report by highlighting a different child. This time we would like to introduce you to Anjila (please see the photo). She works very hard on her studies and is excelling in all her classes at school. She likes to draw, and dance. Anjila's grand mother is alive but she can't afford her education and food. Her  parents  died in accident when thay were traveling in bus. She has 2 younger brothers. She came to Mary Home but we can not afford Anjila and her siblings because of  a lack of funds and room to stay. So we tried to find another orphanage  for 2 boys. This year Ajila requested us to help her to go back with her grand mother, who is old and is unable to handle her day to day activities properly, to help her as well as her brothers. So we took her back to the village where her family was from. Now we are providing nutritional and educational support to her family. We sometime visit her and it's so sad to see the difficult situation of her house after the disaster of earthquake which is still not repaired. But with the support of Global Giving Anjila is able to continue her education, live with her grandmother and brothers and eat a healthy diet. In spite of the hardships she has experienced, she is now a happy, talented, well-adjusted child who can look forward to a bright future. We will continue to support her family in  the areas where it needs to be done in cooperating with the Global Giving foundation.

In conclusion, we value the importance of education, nutrition, good environment and seek to help each child in need to protect their birth right and humanity.  Thank you for helping us reach our goals. We highly appreciate your support, love and care for our Nepali children.
