Whilst Europe, America and many other places in the world are in the middle of their fight with the coronavirus, Nepal seems to now be moving on.
The government stopped free coronavirus tests, there is no support for medical costs for corona patients and no support for any businesses. This has caused most businesses to open as usual, weddings are going ahead (and these in Nepal mean gatherings of minimum 400 people or so), schools have reopened and majority of people outside of Kathmandu have stopped wearing masks. Sadly, we hear of many more new cases but due to no testing and lack of any support the local communities started to move on and live their lives as usual.
Our work to help the communities is now focused on helping more children - more boys that have been forced to live and work on the streets, and also girls who have been subjected to domestic and sexual abuse as a result of the lockdowns. We have formed some amazing partnerships with other organisations with the same values as us and the new project to help all children needing emergency assistance in Province 2 of Nepal is under way!
We will keep you all informed on the progress of the project and how our assistance makes a difference to the children's lives.
A massive thank you for all your support, none of this would have been possible without it. THANK YOU!
