Fundraising for The Nepali Children's Trust

Story

In memory of our son, brother and friend Felix we have opened this page on behalf of the Nepali Children's Trust.

Felix always had a brief for the disadvantaged and those with a disability. This was reflected in his work for Bristol Drugs Project, Shelter, MIND and the Victim Support Scheme.

Please celebrate his compassion and empathy with a donation to the NCT, which has just built a childrens' home in Kathmandu. This was a place he hoped to visit. He would have greatly enjoyed working with the children there, doing everything from playing football to teaching photography.

Thank you for taking the time to visit.

Stefan, Mary-Jane, Rosa and Cordelia

We provide long term, effective, sustainable support to 30 physically disabled children at the New Life Centre in Nepal and with virtually no administrative costs. The children usually come from remote and mountainous areas where life for a disabled child is particularly difficult and there is very little medical help or access to education. Disability may occur due to a variety of reasons but often because of untreated accidental injuries and severe burn injuries as a result of babies and young children being left unattended with open cooking fires while their parents work the land. We work closely with the children and staff at the centre assessing their needs and liaising with the local board members of the centre about the best way we can help. The main focus of our support is a commitment to provide a new home which will help the centre save a third of its budget for rent to use for other important expenses. We also help with other essential day to day costs. We liaise with other Nepali and foreign donors of the centre to ensure a web of integrated support that minimises reliance on any one agency alone, thus guaranteeing on going medical care, a caring home, a healthy diet, good education, as well as post school training and further study where appropriate.
